I listen to her story,
and my heart bleeds black ink.
More of your lies
letter themselves into the history
between us,
as useless as black beetles on the page.
I withdraw from the scuttle of your painful choices.
Your lies are dark, small and mean.
I wonder that there is anything left
to deplete in me
when it comes to you.
These disclosures
are coated with dust,
decrepit with age,
and useless.
I don't understand why they prick me,
finding pain to dip into
as I write
one more reason
why I must keep far away from you.

tiffnhoneyover 15 years agoHonestly, I didn't really 'get into' the way it ended...I just didn't feel it as strongly. I suspect it is me and not your writing. I enjoyed it overall. I especially like the opening lines. They drew me into the poem and I immediately connected... "listen to her story,and my heart bleeds black ink. More of your lies letter themselves into the history between us," I loved that part...nice.
