Self Scolding
Why do words escape without your consent?
It seems thy mind be plagued by amorous disease.
Too many leave this heart broken and bent.
Idiot! You let words fly, knowing they would dent
The fragile balance I hold. Tell me, please,
Why do words escape without your consent?
Fool! Subject yourself to needles torment!
The love’s not shared. Silence your pleas.
Too many leave this heart broken and bent.
Corpse! You loathe thyself! This downward descent
Spirals out of control… drives you to your knees.
Why do words escape without your consent?
Tears! Stay back! It’s useless to vent
Over misery; pain; break. They come in threes.
Too many leave this heat broken and bent.
Heart, be gone. Leave. Pay your rent.
Disintegrate within the breeze.
Why do words escape without your consent?
Too many leave this heart broken and bent.
