_{I'm through and done,
more so than past times when I've uttered the same.
I convinced myself to trust myself,
and my diffident heart betrayed me
by believing in something unstable—erratic,
like wildfire in cluttered lumber yards.

There are no second chances,
allowing repeat-offenders or further blunders;
One mistake's sufficient and I learn swiftly.

Because of this I'm done and through,
Unwilling to sacrifice to feel,
Firm in my stance against excessive destruction.
(I revel at the extremity of this bitter irony,
scars testifying in a bitter delight.)

You can have everything I am;
I'm of no further use to me.
If you, too, discover futility,
perhaps death will make of me better company.}

Hmm, not sure if I like this one or not. I think there could probably be more flow. That, and I think I completely butchered the imagery (if there was any at all.. I was only expecting brief ones but still...) ;A; Feedback would be lovely, as it would ease my growing concern for this piece.

I'm better by the way, so for those of you who tend to look deep into my poetry for hidden meanings: this isn't one of those. It houses my emotions, yes, and possibly things of the past, but this was originally inspired by a song.

I really do hope this one is okay... I should have kept it longer to work on it, but I really wanted to post something. That, and my creative juices ran out... so I can't think of what else TO do with it. *sigh*
