Poetry: I hurt

by Barbara Writes

Hater of self losing love

I hurt the one I adore
the one who keeps me sane
when all else fails

Rip out my heart
feed it to the dogs
I deserve no less

Stay away from me
a fungus causing pain
leave me astray

Pain of me will
burn like fire
leaving ashes of the heart

Tread carefully
my sting is bad
cruel wicked girl

I love you so much
hold me dear
to your heart
my kind sweetheart

Breaking his heart
I want to embrace
fear I'll only make it worse

Come back my sweet
let me back into your world
where my haven exist cherish one

Forgive me my prized one
I love you loads
where a place in my heart
is forever there
