I knew my lesson
when your touch left the scar
again and again on
my suppurating skin
and you remain unscathed
and free
I knew my lesson
when crying under the
covers and
keeping those lips pursed
made no difference to your
ignorant smirk and
your bouts of glee
I knew my lesson
when I tried to please you
and kept crushing my own
desires
losing the tourniquet to
set myself-free
I knew my lesson
when I had to choose between
the dream
and the rancid choices
you gallantly offered me
I knew my lesson
when in the relationship
I ended my self
trying to ignite the love in “we”

Thanks, Kristiana, Aurora started it and it has caught on like wildfire. I was so so inspired by it. I was out traveling but I came back to the hotel to write my piece.
