Strip Search
Coming to terms...
Peel away
the scar tissue
from my soul,
to reveal a
deeper wound,
inflicted
why
did he
introduce me
to this
seething pain?
why
does he laugh
when I undress
my vulnerable
thoughts
toward indiscretion?
Who made him
king
of everything
anyway?
I was merely
a jester
to his corrupt
throne...
I don't care to be
the caretaker
of delicate
emotions
I don't want to live
as a silent soldier
in an army
against
white lies...
Time
to stand on
solid ground
and trust
what I know
Time
to weave
new clothes,
and bury the old ones
that are stained
with
issues of trust
Time
to plant new seeds,
as this harvest
only yields
regrettable
regret
Time
to move on
and open
a promising
chapter
worth reading
~
It was your choice
to begin setting
wildfires
It is my choice
to extinguish
the embers
that linger...
Because,
he who cheats
is a coward
amongst thieves!
