Question: How did I get where I am today!?

A Way From Her

she was addicted to the seen
crack tweaker
street sweeper
gutter love
two tone trickster
no tell motel
don't tell
slow hell
sad sell

I let her in cause she asked me to!. I knew she had no place to go!. 7 Months since I had seen myself, and in her I saw myself!. Taking me by the hand, I was mislead to the water!. She forced me to drink!. Razor in hand, she attacked all I hated !. From the top down, she cut!. Every hair, every where I wouldn't, I couldn't stand to!.

Trimming away the residue, a layer at a time, until I was exposed!. A naked soul, clean of all the dirt!. Spinning me around, her shape showed me the way!. So I dared to see!. Myself!. A new man, old in the flesh I had worn for so long!. At my feet, traces of tragedy piled high in wisps and shards!.

Deposited to her corner, I cried as I saw myself walking away!. A way I knew to well!. In her I saw myself, driving away, I turned right!. To get me where I was going!. Away from myself!.

The lead in works well!.!.!. and the word "seen" in that context - ambiguous enough to wonder!.

Nice work!.

I'm partial to this "down & out" stuff !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your words are intriguing!. Like a lead-in to a gritty detective novel!. You'll have to go back of course!. Once!. To collect the parts of you left on the ground!. Finding a "fix" at the hands of another never lasts!. You have to do it yourself!. Kudos on the pen!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Something tells me you gave as much to her
as she gave to you!.

Beautifully intriguing, engaging read!. Word play and hidden meaning throughout!. Captivating!.

Always captive to your words, tho'
