She

Something within me,

Festers, lingers, burns,

She is ferocious and all consuming,

A wild heart,

I keep in a cage,

Between my ribs,

And broken dreams,

And she wants to come out and play.

I really loved the last line "And she wants to come out and play". Was this influenced by Pablo Neruda by any chance because I can feel a Neruda vibe going on? Anyway, really excellent poem!

Thank you. I have always loved Neruda but this one just came from "She", I suppose :D

I'm not so sure it's wise to allow a festering anything out of its cage. Sounds dangerous! ;)

[Shezza]

All the better to let it out to play every now and again :)

If you are like me, you came to this site to let here out of the cage! Have fun and tear it up! I look forward to reading!
