Affair of the Heart

Why must I do these things?
Why must I lie?
Why must I hurt?
For I know not
what empowers this monster.

I do my damage
in a matter of seconds.
My carelessness,
My blatent disregard
of your feelings.

I do not want
to do what I do.
It has been a part of my life
for as long as I can remember.
No matter how hard I try,
this creature remains.

This pain is deserving.
I hold it near.
Embracing every moment,
wallowing in self pity.

For damaged goods
are all I have to offer.
And no matter how I look at it,
that is how I see it.

My heart for sale.
Beautiful exterior.
Damaged interior.
Broken for life...

and you have just described the heart of a poet, my friend.

Not so much damaged, but maybe very well bruised. *grin*
