Poem Commentary

This is something that we have all asked ourselves one time or another after going through a breakup. The cyclical outcome with the good, bad & ugly, yet we go through it over and over again. Hope you enjoy it!!!

"You were thinking it. I just write what you are afraid to." - MagicRock

Self Talk

You stupid FOOL, you do it every time

When you open up your mouth to speak your mind

Unchain the beast that lies inside

Unveil the truth that you so try to hide

Revealing to the world just what you feel forgetting the fact that the world can be oh so cruel

So why is it that you just continue, over and over and over and over, and over again to keep hitting yourself with that hammer called love?

Simply because the pain feels so good

But the simple fact, is once you’ve stopped that euphoria is gone and all that love brings, comes the devastation of pain, bruises, and scarring

The open wounds of what once was or could’ve been to be exposed

Deep dark chrisom intertwined with the salted waters of remembrance

Rushing to the rivers of regret, oceans overextended

And just when you thought that it was all over and you’d gotten rid of this pestilence, this parricidic virus, it shows back up only to remind you of the pain

Pleasure, all of those thoughts have been buried; the flowers have been sent and the stone placed

 

So why oh why again do you put yourself through this unthinkable?

Is there really any explanation? Any resolve? Any pure, for sure, untainted definite answer?

And the answer is… That’s love

I do it hoping for the one that lasts forever. We do it for the rush, it's like a drug but really an instinct. So overpowering, so irresistable, so painfully wonderful. Just always hoping this is the one...Write on rock they are getting better and better....Tempestlady

Magic - Very nice self reflection .. You are so right ... we do it for love! A litlle masochistic ... but it is the soul's cry for companionship and the heart's cry for love that makes us do it! Very nice ! :) Ken

Thanks Ken. My thought exactly... we do it for that thing called L.O.V.E.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
