I feel you crumbling in my arms
like a porcelain heart down
to the girth you fell so hard.
Why don't you take what you want,
why don't you take what you need,
why don't you take what you came for
and leave me alone?
Life's too short to keep running
from the beast.
Life's only one road trip,
I've chosen me.
No narcissist is going to control me.
You left your shadow hovering over
my bed, with your vampire teeth.
My lucid dreams are bleeding,
bleeding black and deep.
You will never meet anyone like me.
Why don't you take what you want,
why don't you take what you need,
why don't you take what you came for
and leave me alone?
Life's too short to keep running
from the beast.
Life's only one road trip,
I've chosen me.
Such heart felt feelings so vividly expressed, my time heal your open wounds and mend your heart as not all men are the same. Stay strong.
Really a poignant rendition from the heart. Congrats on your poem's selection as member POD.

Melancholy poem. Sadness grips my heart as I read through. And congratulations to you dear poet. This poem is the POD Members today. Well done.
Excellent poem. In my experience, people like this don't realize how good something was until they have lost it. Beware! This clown will try to: "make up for ‘everything' I've (he has) done"
You said it boldly and you inspire others to come out of abusive relationship....'Life's only one road trip, I've chosen me. No narcissist is going to control me.'
