The Guilt You Gave Me

wait for the rifle

to confirm guilt

 

I can self loathe myself

to nirvana but I cant

reach it

 

till  you trigger on misdeeds

 

torture me

 

the groomsman

of your unrequited

love and I want

you to see it

 

yell hate on me

an acid that will

free

my sexual avarice

free

you for real happiness

 

I cannot give you

 

shoot at this heart

of mine that

pumped back once

 

twice

maybe

 

but always beat to

satiate a desire

 

yet I smell no

gunpowder

 

we had an accord

of stained sheets

cigarettes legs

rubbing sweat

 

you rape it

with feelings

 

leaving me chained

in unexpected emotion

guilty for your

breach of contract

 

and as I wait against

the firing wall

which one of us

is blindfolded

 

the bad loved

or the weak love

Spot on!

Monalisa you hit the bulls eye! I am glad you liked those stanzas, I put special care into crafting them. I am afraid like most of my poetry this is drawn from real life. Thank you for your kind words! They have brought a smile to my face this cold afternoon in Seoul.
