Oh Selfish Soul, Oh Cursed Heart
I beg you, Heart, Please stop your beating!
I beg you, please stop healing!
The pain and aching is far too great for my selfish soul to bear.
Please take me back to when I died,
My heart, numb to the core.
To when I never felt the pain-
Of loving anymore.
To when I never saw a child, and smiled.
To when I never felt warm.
To when trust was out of the question,
And people were not real.
I hate the way it feels to feel!
The anxiety it brings!
I hate the love that stirs my heart
When I see those cursed eyes.
And how each time I see him,
My heart begins to sing...
Please take this all away from me!
And let me die alone!
For I cannot bear it when that day that will come.
The day that he'll be gone.

"When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you." ~Kahlil Gibran
I love your poetic name "fire and rose petals," as well as the Dickinson poem you have on your profile page. It's one of my favorites of hers.
