BRUISED

She said

I should not speak to you

because you 

have an agenda

But I never really prized myself

As any good judge of character

I like good conversations

Open hearts

and alot of laughter


Yet,I listen to her


She said 

You are the worst

of them all

and it is that character 

That she claims you exceed

That makes me shrink back into

sobriety

And though it seems extreme

She was right

about her

this has nothing 

to do with you-

brdda

It's just that she proved me wrong once

so I feel like i owe her

an ear


So I will sit right here

with this warning

And thrill 

my imagination

with the journey

Of your agenda

And how you would fool me,so

Into believing...

And all that deceiving...


Imagine, how much energy

 it would take for me

For me to to pretend 

I did not see it coming

This mischief

looking exciting!

But I got a warning

And though this has nothing to do with you

The scar is still fresh

See how it's oozing?
