This Water I Drink is Like a Pool
This water I drink is like a pool.
I can feel the residue that I know comes from others.
It looked so pure,
Fog rolling off its surface cool
Too bad
Dwelling within are a hiss and slithers.
Entered my lips like a
stolen kiss.
I
DIDN’T
WANT
THIS
WATER
Or did I…..?
Was I the one urging for its presence?
I never asked for it.
This water was thrust upon me.
It shimmered like a chalice cured my broken hearted smile
So much malice it was his smile that broke my
Soul
I built a dam with nothing behind it
But a hole
None shall enter here I say
I pushed them all away
Anything to get rid of
of
of
my memories
him
His smell
touch
that look in his eye
I was tricked by a gleam
I thought it was
a shimmer
Now I’m plagued by
nightmares
and white cars
Never
Again
I etched it upon my heart
Before the water
It
reached through the cracks
There were no more stitches
A n d t o r e m e a p a r t
Yes.
I brought upon myself a great betrayal for one reason
Trusting my heart
instead of instinct
brought me resentment
Now I can no longer wash it clean
I open my mouth wide
There’s a darkness inside
It makes others
cringe and turn away
I try to speak
to tell them why
to ask
for someone to quench my thirst
Silence
This water I drink is like a pool.
