Hurricane

This is not angry, as it may seem. It's in awe of the power people can have over you.


You're the worst thing that ever happened to my heart
Hurricane G---- come to obliterate the coast
Here I am begging for your mercy
But you want to show off your power
Why can't you show me off instead?
What you've left inside me means nothing to you
You were glad to be rid of it
And I nearly fainted at the honour of receiving
Now I have to get up off my back and cry 'no more'
I'm too sore now, too broken, too tired
You're too far removed from me
Restore my eyes after the swells
My lungs from the screaming winds
Piece my heart back together and wall it away
I've almost died on your behalf
Why do I keep breaking my own heart?
You're the worst thing that ever happened to it

 

I'm afraid all to often we,{ who dont love ourselves as much as we should}

set ourselves up with the harshest of punishments in the partners we choose.
I was once that girl..I married a physical abuser, got away, then married a liar, who fucked up my head for almost 20 years. Sometimes we all learn the hard way. Peace and love to you now. Awake from this slumber and be the light in your own life. Blessed Be

P.S. I LOVE Mazzy Star...It's like listening to Karen Perris of the
"Innocence Mission" if she were on qualudes.

 

Thank you, scarlettrhymes. I'm trying to heal myself and this poem was the first significant step.

 

healing takes a lifetime it seems....every time i feel i am healed i am faced with another mirror showing parts that are still open and scarred...
or are they open and scarred...or do we just want to keep ripping them open ourselves....oh gosh is being a human difficult

 

I love you, my hurricane sister.

 

Life’s problems can indeed seem to blend together into a fierce mass swirling around us… the trick is to be the calm and collected eye
