Searching for Poison
L. B. Mek said:

\'When I eventually
came into the light, I searched
for new poison, Because
even, when I let my skin rest
I still, seemed to cry

And then
I feared, hearing my own
heart beat
So I\'d reach, for something sweet

And binging, became
my new love
My acts of gluttony, only ended when my body
turned, into my blame

As I spilled
out of my wardrobe those who died, took
the blame
And the sudden way, in which
they left, became
my poison\'..
(please
forgive, my rude
rearranging of your lines
I just wanted to showcase
your rhythm and flow, and share
how your poetry, spoke
to me)
you truly have an earnest, poetic voice
and talent
worth cultivating, even
if just for yourself, devoid
of any literary ambition;
I\'m only saying this, just in case
in this cruel world
those, more meaningful people
in your life
haven\'t bothered, to make you aware
of this simple Truth, about yourself..
(thank you! for choosing to share
I laud, the care you\'ve imbued into this polished write
with each meaningful reread and edit
you\'ve adorned it with:
a Great write!
\'in my humble opinion\')
