Insecure

by Elizabeth Ann   Nov 29, 2004



Turn toward me whom you say you love. Look at me your sun. Now run..

What if...that never after, where’s the satisfaction from chance’s end? Can you expect forgiveness from me if you don’t find what you’re looking for?

After you came to know me for my restless love? To sleep peacefully after you’ve watched me return, again and again?

I fell before pride reminding you of your opinion of me, and in the end you embraced me. How far I’ve come to achieve that end and yet it didn’t even matter. You’re not as sure as before. And you begin to trust this, your increasing doubt in my self respect. Wondering how far I would go, how far you could break me.

With eyes of greater loathing someone has fallen at your feet, smitten...or so now you’re convinced. Invested never crossed your weighted mind.

Ruthless this end, just like you. I’m revolted you’ve chosen this ruin. Where rage is become my perfect world, how absurd.

Now I’m here to find my way again.

    An entrancing stroll through a thorny garden. Can't help but feel I've been in similar situations, even as part of me wonders if there are more nuances to this reminiscent of your poems I've read before this... of ancient characters and ancient power, though not always accompanying wisdom. Regardless, I enjoy this poem a great deal. Each line resonates.

    I had to read this a few times before I understood it. You certainly have an interesting way of writing! It's like poetic prose, for loss of a better phrase. I really had to twist my mind around it, and there are still bits I don't understand without changing some ' 's if you get what I'm saying. Good stuff nonetheless. I was quite impressed by this, just because of how much it made me think!
