drunk observation

by Vikki Owens

you never knew
that the vapors left
from the one before
were scars left in my skin
and that i'd brought
about my own ending.
it was MY issues
that tangled itself around
our relationship
tho he did me the solace
of claiming his own flaws
as the reason for our parting.

he said i was so terribly dull.

here was the truth i'd never
speak to anyone else,
and the more i try to keep the crazy inside
the more it seeks out the dark heart of the matter
and undoes me from the inside out.

We are so hard on ourselves. Scars play tricks with reality. Real write. Heartfelt.
