Taking Responsibility
I think her voice needs to be heard…Meet Marquita
Being in a relationship after years of being single has me somewhat on edge. I was single for so long that being single was all I was use to. In fact looking back on it, I was the reason I was single. I sabotaged my own potential relationships. Have you ever sat down and realized that in some, not all, but some situations, you were the one who was tainted? The following poem simulates just that- being tainted.
Tainted Lover
I made another soul dark today and I broke another heart today
That makes four in the past few weeks
I made another soul dark today and I broke another heart today
Now I know all of my love woes come from me
I broke another heart today, I promise that wasn’t my intention

An excellent observation, Ericka. I think that in many ways, we are at least partly complicit in the failure of relationships. That failure originates in many ways, and yet we can’t see it.

This piece opened with an introduction:
“Taking Responsibility

I think her voice needs to be heard…Meet Marquita
Thoughts & Rants. Love & Life.”
Which was then followed by a link to the original, if you read the piece in its entirety.
If you did not read or remember the intent of my blog “authenticitee” as noted in the very first piece I wrote almost a year ago: https://authenticitee.wordpress.com/2015/01/10/mind-if-i-join-you/
Let me be clear: I am a Christian who is unashamed of her faith but THIS is a shade free non judgment zone and ALL are welcome. This is not a space designed for debate or contention of ANY kind. I appreciate your subscribing, reading and taking the time to comment however IF it HAD been my piece my response would have been the same.
It is VERY important to me especially when I am sharing the voice of another writer, that they feel comfortable here as well.
All are welcome here, including you.
