Calm, cool, and collect
Like some little animal
You could play with and call me your pet

You wove your web
Captured me within
Squeezed me so hard
I began to bleed

Rode me hard
Like a great white steed
Used me up on a whim
Had me do all of your deeds

You were evil at the core
Threatened to show me the door
Stepped on me
Like I was a rug on your floor

You lit the fuse
Mistook it for a candle
All along you were so amused
I was yours to mold and abuse

You fired up a power within
You knew not what you started
If you were looking for trouble
You got it doubled

A fire from hell you beckoned by name
It overcame you
The shell of you melted from within
I was victorious in the end

You played with fire
All along you were just so pompous
The hold you thought you had on me
Burned and destroyed you in the end [comments] => 5 [counter] => 383 [topic] => 48 [informant] => jamesstockdale [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

I'm a bit lost in meaning, since I'm on my break and have but give minutes to read, but it certainly gives me a "Careful what you wish for" kind of vibe.

Enjoyable read Jim. :)

What started off as rather tame eventually (or suddenly) became untamed!
I liked the subtly vicious tone and message here.

Great write
