Burrs

Burrs

Brittle burn the worst kind
Can you squeeze or wringe out
Pain
Bit of pride always
Helps,
Ashamed...
To cry is slavery.

I'm alive
feeling in every atom
You're now my bandaged mummy
Cellulose swiftly drying...

Keep away if you wish
Keep reeling in new bait
Reeking of decayed debris.

But i think that I love
You very much
Your latest choice
Elevates you far above my
Reign,
I'm glad to be sad
In this certain way.
Mind heart soul
I abdicate
The stubborn child who grows
Is better than the
Aberrant adult who tried
To be more than she
Could ever be.

I love you very much.
I lose you
Undefeated
Eyes hotter than the midday sun
Glowing with regret,
Brittle burrs of pain bursting soft
Yet contained.

I am regally scorned,
Your woman spurned.
Stupid strip tease gawking heart
Now
Burn, burn, burn.
