all hell breaks loose
a post-break-up poem by lieschen

i let go of the rope
let the precious, squalling bundle hit the rocks
and now the hordes are awakened
they're out for blood

i had to defend myself
daggers of ice pierced my tired eyes
i fought back with the sword of my wisdom,
the spear of my truth
but they ignored their wounds
and attacked mine

i'm hidden in my heart
they couldn't find me
and shouted insults at the grey sky
they don't know it's on my side
the torrent takes them down
and leaves me refreshed

the dominoes were exponential
the smallest tap
sets off the hugest boulder

i need to leave this landscape
the cracked earth is jammed with painful memories
so i saddle up and leave for the sunlit plains

i am greeted by the kind, faceless friends
whose hands are always black with ink
they are my warriors
they are my brothers and sisters
and i am stronger with them
in my mind

A/N: So yeah, I broke up with ryan the other night. I thought everything would settle down, but his friends all started attacking me on my livejournal, swearing at me, digging up the past, and making me feel like shit. It has been one huge fiasco, and I knew the only way to express my feelings without being crapped at would be to write about it and post it up here. All you marvelous authors have always been here for me, and I knew you wouldn't judge me or criticize me for making such an important decision. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this one. It's not rhyming (wierd for me) but i liked having the flexibility....blah blah blah, that is one hell of an author's note. Anyways, thanks for reading. - ELise
