Layer Cake

 

by Joanie C

 

                

Chocolate grudges are iced with past pain and

forbidden desires.

Every piece is always the last piece.

 

Tears keep the cake moist.

It's forbiddeness makes it so much more

desireable,

Heartburn of guilt comes to visit soon after.

 

They're all so angry with me because of my

gourmet choices,

I'm sorry for that because I wasn't out to

punish them,

I wanted to punish some part of me.

 

Unfortunately my body is an innocent victim

of a bad, bloody traffic accident,

Wrong place at the wrong time.

 

Before conflict I always prepare for extra girt,

My vulnerability will have a chance of being

protected.

However, I notice in photographs that my eyes

always give me away.

 

My fate lately seems to depend on so many ifs,

I put too much power in the "ifs".

 

There's a hole inside that needs a tending to,

I'm always hungering for some thing, some one.

 

I mended many wounded birds,

But at such a cost.

I've neglected my own wounds,

They mostly bleed inside.

Safer that way.

 

Don't offer me pity, offer me love.

Don't offer me sadness, offer me hope.

Don't judge me harshly, be my friend.

You would be great competition for that Layer Cake.
