Words of bitter yesterdays

The words that coursed the air
weren't mine -
rancid markers of paranoia
from the oasthouses
of betrayal.

I am not my fears,
yet they sculpt
my hated existence.

Attacking you
with the putrid
lies of others
becomes the pastime
of my insecurity.

I am so sorry.

The quality of the work on the site makes it increasingly difficult to offer new comment which seems neither hackneyed or stale.



I love the simplicity of the words and the complexity of the images of this poem, especially the following

rancid markers of paranoia
from the oasthouses
of betrayal.[/qiote]

take care

and thank you for sharing this poem with us

The last line, "I am so sorry" isn't really necessary, the whole poem has a feel of regret about it, well done.

Thanks guys - glad you both liked it. Sometimes 'sorry' is such a pathetic word - doesn't even begin to sum up the full scale of feeling.

It has the unique Bobo hallmark. A succinct razor-sharp piece.
