[POETRY] "Broken man"

[NoRain :( 🗕 🗗 🗙]

"Broken Man"

Broken knuckles, my face aches, you still slap me for what I’ve said
Spoken troubles, packed up your shirts, we go on like this, fiending for you, again
You call me when you're lonely, then tell me to go ♥♥♥♥ myself
When I ask why you’re calling, it’s clear I know you all too well

All too well

Your voice is a knife, it cuts deep; I bleed out the words you choose
You toy with my life, I can’t sleep, trapped in this cyclical move
When you say you need me, it echoes in the hollows of my chest
But the silence is fleeting, and I am once again your guest

I’m your guest

I wander through the wreckage of promises you never kept
Reality is savage, in shadows where your secrets slept
The lines between love and hate blur, as we dance this twisted deal
I’m caught in the web you weave, unsure if it’s even real

Even real

You invite me in for coffee, then kick me out the door
A smile laced with venom as we make out on the porch
We play this game of give and take, where nothing’s ever fair
You strip me of my sanity, but I pretend I don’t care

I don’t care

You thread the needle gently, stitching up my open scars
Each loop a fleeting promise, though the pain still lingers hard
Your touch both soft and cold, you tend to my mangled hand
When the wounds refuse to heal, you still love a broken man

Broken man

Looks like it. I remember this stage. It feels horrible. Eventually though, you go numb to the pain and start finding ways to enjoy life again. Such as it is.

It's just a matter of perspective.

And the inverse of it, I guess.

I'd be a stain on pavement if not for this one.

Don't be a victim. Don't blame anyone for anything in your life.

Hey Moogal. Yeah, you'll be happier if you don't blame your situation in life on anything but yourself.

What is the benefit from blaming your shortcomings on others?

just confused about how or why you think it's relevant when blame isn't mentioned at all

From your poem, you sound innocent. Take blame for outcomes between two people.

You have a pfp about perspective, yet still project your own onto others

You can view it that way if you'd like, but it's in no way my intention or is literally justifiable

"we go on like this"

"as we dance this twisted deal"

"We play this game of give and take, where nothing’s ever fair"

anything "we" is me highlighting how complicated emotions can be for either person

I don't project. I offer. I'm not worried about life.

NoRain, I'm just saying you should accept the situation or change the situation. Don't b!tch about the sitch.

I got almost half of them in one clown apocalypse thread. Clowns are unavoidable.

I'm friendly though. I hope you find a good man.

My girl is travelling with a friend of hers - which is why I'm on OT right now. She just texted me a nice pic of yesterday's sunset. If I wrote a poem about our relationship, it would be a happy poem. I miss her.
