Good morning! Happy Tuesday! Let me start off by saying this artist is…wow! I always try to find the artist’s name and put it in the caption. So if interested you will find it there, but only on the days, I’m able to find it not everyone signs their work.
Today is a sick day for me. The doctor found a sever infection they are unsure where it came from but gave me antibiotics. I don’t react well to medication. I usually end up very sick. So it’s a blanket, tea and writing kind of day though I have promised myself that if I choose not to write not to get down on myself. I have to remember to be kind ot myself.
#DancingWithTheDevil
You’re long gone
Yet always on my mind
I thought of you day and night
Do you remember
I see you when I shut my eyes
We used to dance beneath the moon
I felt your warm breath
And soft hands touch my flesh
Except now
Things have changed
I don’t shut my eyes
For death stares back
It’s hand are cold
And it’s breath stinks of whiskey
Dancing has become a nightmare
For the dead attempt to drag me to Hell
Your words are like daggars
Thrusting deep into my chest
Where my heart used to lay
I can hear it beat
It’s much like a ticking clock
But it’s gone…
Missing like the memories I used to hold
The Earth has become grey
I am a walking nightmare
Happiness is something that used to be
Now it’s the padding between my feet and the earth
Something to soften the blow
My love has grown cold
For how could one love without a heart
When I gave it to you
I was innocent
Now the devil owns it
And I am left dancing in the dark
With the man who crushed my soul
The man I call the Devil
❤
Have a beautiful day.

I am allergic to most antibiotics. I break out in a full body rash. There’s one I can take but it gives me stomach spasms. Sometimes I wonder if the side effects are worth it. Hope you get better real soon.
