The Man He Thought He Knew

Contributed by Nevilleconnie on Thursday, 20th May 2010 @ 09:00:11 AM in AEST
Topic: StoryPoetry



Hidden in the darkness.
A monster in your eye's.
Living in the harshness,
of all your evil lies.

How you think you know me.
My life and all my sins.
I wish you'd let me be.
Your voice now makes me sick.

Hardened by your judgment.
Swimming in your doubt.
Locked inside a dungeon.
There seems to be no out.

Years have turned me colder.
There's no more warmth inside.
Hatreds made me bolder.
I speak what's on my mind.

Blood and death and carnage,
is all I long to see.
You'll never get a harness,
on what was good in me.

I've taken one to many.
One to many blows.
And now I'll show you plenty,
of the evil I now hold.

Take your shot at fighting.
You'll never stand a chance.
I'll relish all your whining.
So come on, take your stance.

Oh, now I see you shaking.
Tell me, are you scared?
I wonder if your faking.
But wait, I see your tears.

So, so, so pathetic.
That's what you've come to be.
It's your fault I'm eccentric.
It's your fault that I seethe.

So why can't I deliver,
the final fatal blow?
Why do I now shiver?
Why, I do not know.

I leave you torn and battered.
But soon, you'll be yourself.
Why to me it matters,
makes my mind now dwell.

With all that I have suffered.
With all the blows I took.
Why could I not muster,
to kill the man who shook?

He had the chance to kill me.
I could have killed him to.
But than I'd truly be,
the man he thought he knew.

Your ending gave me goosebumps and lots of troubled thoughts NConnie........How many times have we each found ourselves in such a fix............evil, revenge, integrity, the whole mix?
Well said, well penned!
Warm love
