Ruby Rains Red

[Revolte]

She's beating again I can hear her,
knocking against my chest she wants a home
but I'm afraid to let her out,
She's never really healed and she seems to like the pain now
the failure and the risk, it's what keeps her pulse.
She seems confused at times,
but she knows what she wants
as I know what she wants
but, can she have it
or will she just crawl back in to my chest
and close her eyes as one more crack forms
in the belly of my heart?
I suppose, soon enough, we will know.

Awww.. I really enjoyed reading this- even if the topic is a past event of my life.
I can totally relate to this delicate peice.
Thank you.

Something of a coincidence that this appears right after Skia's poem with what I take to be a similar motivation - and in its own way, equally powerful.

You express your uncertainty in a very effective and powerful way as always - and welcome back btw.

I really like this intense poem.
