Venom

Contributed by FleurdeSang on Wednesday, 26th March 2008 @ 05:09:06 AM in AEST
Topic: AngryPoetry

I remember when all that I breathed
was hate,
The only thing that kept me from
surrendering to the kiss
of the blade forever,
Was the thought of your life dripping
from my hands…

{{ eyes of tainted innocence, no longer

b.r.o.k.e.n

wrapped with determination,
hate in every X.x. s t i t c h .x.X }}

After years of shame and self-desecration,
Years of blaming myself for your sins,
I, at long last,
Accepted my past,
Regarded and admired your new skin,
Embraced the change in you,

A sigh of relief as I held you
A burst of love and joy,

The monster in my nightmare forever gone…

Never knew how much I had missed you,
How much the deafening curve of your laughter
Made my heart swell,
How much I needed the affection I felt
you never gave…

Spine snapping in childish desperation
To make you proud,
To hear you say that you loved me,

To make you stay…

And yet, after I planted you in the brightest
part of my soul,
Gave you my trust as peace offering for
All the years of raping
My fragile esteem,

You ruin it all with a threat,
To take away everything…

I was never meant to read the letter,
But made the choice to see proof of
your malicious ways,
(Still blinded by the illusion that maybe…
you had truly changed,
clinging to denial like a lover…)

I read it twice,
Disbelief revealing in a splintered laugh,
Tears scalding my cheeks with that
Familiar pain,

You had used me again.

And so the war rages on,
My voice as ammunition-

You will not break me this time.

I look at this piece and think to myself that you have been lied to......deception and betrayl weave the fabrics of your love for your father.
Like the only reason you love him is because he is blood..........Great write.....just know if he didnt feel that sum1 did

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
