the devil held my hand
as, thrashing, i went
through the day.
anger gripped me
tighter
with every breath.
the fear in me
spewed from my mouth
in torturous tones,
in blood-stained color.
my body became
a shell
for demons.
my broken heart
lay at my feet--
i kicked it away
so no one would see,
     the bleeding me...

if you were lonely
maybe we could leave here
and no one would know
at least not to the point where we would think so..."

Nice lines, dg.  Would that it were so easy at times, yet at others . . .

"i held it up
so all could be
   a witness for me."

DRAGONPOE..thanks for your reply..glad you enjoyed reading me    

KRAW..yes..very true point..
i wrote this for my brother-in-law, and his approach was to hide the true hurt inside..but had it been me..i'd have been more inclined to write it the way you did...i'm a heart-on-the-sleeve type person...!  

PARKER..LOL @ you!  group hug sounds like a plan..i'm there!     

hugs (pass 'em around!!) , g
