“External Beauty”
As if nature taught me nothing
I continue to chase women believing it to be something.
like A dart frog or a coral snake.
Better view from afar to avoid the ache.
burned by fire but touched it twice
again and again I refuse to heed my own advice.
It's beginning to feel like the upside isn't worth the pain.
still holding onto the frog as its' poison seeps into my veins.
Beauty is deceiving.
The more vibrant, the more bleeding.
