For Jesse (Fade to Silence)



I will not be a tangled net
Pulling you down with me
into the murky waters of hopes now dashed.

You dressed me up in princess clothes
even though i was still
the same old worthless shit
inside

I hated you for making me crave kindness,
For making each day brighter
just so that it could hurt that little bit more.

I never wanted to let you go
but how were you supposed to know
that I needed you to show me how to stay?

    hello after a long time. it's very refreshing to read some poetry after a long time, and i must say that your style seems to have shifted a bit. i would love to read some author's comment on this one, since it is so deep, dark, and angry, and if i may say very personal. it seems to have come out at the spur of a moment of intense emotion. but what ever it be, at least you haven't put it up for a contest, so may be my views are on right track.

    it was good to read you.
