Sabotage

Love serves no purpose
but to blind the mind
with temporary illusion;
This monotonous game
of win/lose strategy
serving only to jade
an innocence once so powerful.
~
I'm afraid of being disappointed
one more time
and I cannot trust what appears to be
too good to be true.
So forgive me
if I put a stake in your heart
before we kiss.
~
I feel you in me, breast swell safety
so I strip my skin, repel the touch
remove the vulnerability, detachment.
I vanish into nothing
invite failure and force the end
to rid of your disease.
I'm a train wreck
and I can't step off the tracks,
a volatile vixen
unable to vex the valium.
~
Who cares about the remedy
anger is the cause
deprival of understanding
is to conquer, drain the veins.
Inner hatred is hard, love is easy
and I've always been one for a challenge.
I will never allow you to love me
your arms cannot fit around the mold
in my refusal to change, I am cold
closure is overrated.
~
The barriers, the walls
are solid strong numb,
time heals nothing
I let sabotage eat me alive.

the essence of man is that we continually look for new truths from old and proven sources of error.

Melissa, I really enjoy your writes... not that they're happy and cheerful and all that... but they are so provoking... and jaded in the "You don't have to beat me up...Look!!!... I've done it for you!" style. I do like your comparison of fear of rejection as a vampire... although you tend to get confused and "stake the person" instead of the problem.
I completely understand.  It's not even a case of low self-esteem... just the opposite, sometimes we hold such a low opinion of the opposite sex that we don't even give them a chance to NOT break our heart.

Thoroughly enjoyed and library worthy!!!
Try mine.... now there's a solution!

I especially can relate to Verse #2.   You this into words exceptionally well.

"I'm a train wreck
and I can't step off the tracks,
a volatile vixen
unable to vex the valium."




(big hugggsssssss) Fist of all, let me say as always though your poetry is sad and heartaching, you always write with the most honest and provoking emotion and I just love the alliteration in the quoted portion above! (sigh) I think soone ror later we all have to malfunction and sabotaging is natural, what's important is that we get out those mechanic books for the soul and work to fix it to 100% efficency as we all need to refresh again and again! God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Melissa, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Seems, and I agree....these lines just
stand out...and that is saying a lot,
because this poem is filled with lines
that are superb...
