The Crooks of Her Palm - poem

I often confuse anger with protection,

Bloodied wounds filled with with the same salty seas that caress my cheek,

I don't clench my fists in fury, I let them be held,

They should feel my lust for bloodshed,



But there will be no red-ribboned fate that binds us together,

There will be no eternal thread that is sewn into us by the pinkie,

There will be no person that will stay if I prolong with a heart full of restless rage and inevitable regret,


I am well versed in cruelty, though I crave the sympathy I cannot give,


I am born of the waves, fuelled by the seas,

Salt in my eyes,

Restless pleas
