I Am Sick Of Bleeding

By ictaluri

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I waited for the 'revelation' Some kind of ultimate 'understanding' through all the groans, and all the bloated mirrors. I waited for a clue. Rivers of years have revealed slyly, slowly, all that is cruel and crept me along to wrinkles and spasms, my divine purpose being: Woman. Never owned, never known, never loved, and longing to be wrong.07-01-01, Written September 6th, 2001 © on Sep 06 2001 02:23 AM PST   0 • 10
