Challenge
Write a letter to someone who has wronged you. Putting your words in ink and out in the universe can be a good step toward healing, and can often help sort out the turmoil inside. (My inspiration was that my car was broken into this weekend, and I managed to get my feelings out in a Social Media post, which I will also turn into a letter and post for this challenge.)
The Ex
How dare you
Crawl back into her life
Like a feral cat
On a stoop
Broken and dirty
Yet irresistible.
The thought has turned to ash in my mouth
I spit these words
Tears and ash make ink
Upon which I write words
you will never see.
How dare you
Have more of a hold on her heart
Than my hands did around her body
I'm grasping at air now
Fighting to breathe.
How dare you
Make me worry about her
When thoughts meet fears
The semblance of understanding
Stifles the desire
The feeling more fleeting
Than our short affair
I dare you
To treat her with respect
To love her like I would have
If given the chance.
And when you break her
I will accept her
Crawling back into my life
Like a feral cat
Broken and dirty
Yet irresistible.
