It's a work in progress, but I wanted to get it out there for now.  Thoughts, criticisms, etc. are welcome!  I haven't posted in awhile, but I am going to start up again, because I miss it so!


Today, I peel away this skin,
Today, I expose the pain within,
I’m gonna rip my heart out, and hang it to dry,
From the clothesline draped with fading sky,
Below, in a bucket, I’ll collect all my tears, and
Release the frantic flood of my fears,
Drip by drop, drop by drip…
Here, my friend, come take a sip,
Drink it down, but drink it slow
Taste my hurt, and then you’ll know
What haunts, taunts me, in my sleep
What dark, dark dreams silently creep
Into my head, into my soul
Laughing, teasing on their tippiest of toes…

I drank, I sipped,
Felt all the pain,
glad you're writing here again.   

Nice work.
