Deadlock
You say you wont,
I say I can’t.
We stare across a table
Mediators on either side
A compromise would satisfy.
Your hardhearted attitude
Intractable in times of emotional strain
Vindictive in nature
You seek ways to inflict pain
Ways to satisfy your burning desire to crush.
After so long many battles
I stand my ground
I have been beaten once to often
It is my turn now
To watch you squirm
As I turn the screws.

Hmmmm very interesting! Can sense some anger here.
and I do like the picture you created.
Thank you Anja, hmmm…you are right, its not hard to bring it to the surface……
Ouch! This is not as romantic as the previous one. Something went sour here obviously.
Thanks Gabriella, its the topic I think…..now i’m tying shoes for d verse
Great! I’ll be happy to read. Tomorrow probably for now.
Vindictiveness such a wasteful emotion – these words bite Michael and pain is evident in your words. Nice write – onward and upward my friend {hugs}
Thank you, I shall endeavour to do that.
I shouldn’t click the like here as this fury hits too close to home. It’s disturbing the games people play and call it love…in the end though I think that I will just try to move on. Thanks for this poem.
Moving on is so important Georgia, its what I must be vigilant to do.
🙂 not easy, but yes important.
This is intense and you definitely get the idea that both parties have dug in their heels. Great job Michael!
Thanks Yves, yes that was the idea……sadly it does happen.
It does indeed I am certainly guilty of being stubborn at times, the best thing is when you realize you are being silly and you can just laugh at yourself and move on sensibly
Cool! I can relate a lot of this to stuff at my work, LOL!! 🙂 🙂
Isn’t it good when you can connect with someone else’s words…..lol…….I am so happy for you Helen.
The black heart goes so well with the words in the poem.
Thank you RoSy, hopefully that might be the last of those poems. Enough time spent on past misery.
