old ghosts in new skins

-

I’ve been burnt by your kind before,

Please don’t ask for more.

I have been fiddled and diddled and dangled in fire

blackened by the heat of your anger and ire,

And washed up ashore in a mythical myre

In the corner of my mind, where I’m colorblind.

I have lent my heart and bent around 

and bit and swallowed empty air 

To fill my belly just to carry heavy things 

That came with loving you.

I think it’s fair of me to keep no company, 

Don’t come near me, it is selfish but safer for me.
