The curse


this is my decree
for every tear you made me cry
you shall now cry three
till there is land no more
just a raging sea


for every puncture in my heart
how you have made it
yes, done your part
finely tuned every cut
pencil drawn in graphic art


now in pain you feel appeal
pretend to love
it's fear you conceal
you wishing, wishing
love could be real


listen well to my verse
there is a message
it is a curse
tears, pain, and emptiness
from this day on will be reversed

I see vision of the movie the Color Purple, have you ever seen that movie.  Maybe the curse will be real.
Love this poem.
