Back To Basics

I have stumbled and fallen 
over life , love and everything in between 
And after all that i've seen 
Its safe to say , I no longer bleed! 


You see I left my poetry 
In the arms of a mad man 
Hoping he would take care of better than I ever could 
Without realizing that I had handed a piece of my soul to the devil's shadow
Who brused and broke it daily hoping to end me - maybe! 

I left my poetry with a mad man 
Simply because I thought all the pain I felt through it would stay away 
Silly me - I almost faded away 

Now im back 
licked all my wounds 
swallowed all my pride
and ready to take it back to basics!!
