Somewhere... out there...

Stripped

what the hell is wrong with you
how could you be so unaware
or is it that you just don't care
about the damage that you've done
or maybe you're the only one
who matters in your tiny mind
but let me tell you this, my 'friend'
It's you who'll lose out in the end
and find yourself alone one day
when everything and everyone
you've ever claimed to truly love
has seen through your transparent lies
and all the selfish alibis
when, suddenly, you find yourself,
alone, pathetic, crawling back
in search of happiness you lack
don't cry to me your tale of tears
I know the hurt - I know the fears
you've taught me well
I've lived the hell
of loving without love's return
and worst of all
I've felt the pain
brought on by anger unrestrained
and DAMN YOU!
you have stripped me bare
no more compassion do I wear
emotions flow
this wrath I show
it's not the me I want to be
it takes control
invades my soul
and kills the spirit deep within
for letting the emotions win
damn ME!

Vicky...you've got the edge on this one...strong spirit feeling, and a touch of anger...that's good and sometimes needed.  Well done!

deathly ire
m'lady
you rail
a tale
of methyl
in rhyme
better aired
and shared



Don't tell me to get a life -- I have one on backorder.

Still speechless. You write angry very well, and I'm extremely happy for you that you finally found a way to get it out *hugs* maybe there'll be more in the future? Now remember, you're not supposed to bottle things up. What you're feeling will come out whether you want it to or not, and like as not it'll come out in ways that you dont want it to (see? I have been listening). *grins*  
Loved it Mum

Hi Vicki

Good to get that out of your system, have witnessed similar events... now you know what to look for and sad to say you'll be more prepared on what you can expect out there...

Wow..... just..... wow..... I can describe this is four words. "Powerful," and "eyes widen slowly." Maybe I should add "A look of horror spread across my face as I read this..... it's beautiful."

*BUGS* Will they consider me bitter if I add it to my library?

Well Miss Vicky--this is just "blazing"!



And I say better out, than "in".

Smiling.

Me SO proud of you.

(and it feels GOOD, don't it?)

love ya lady!

and I'll be around--just gotta give the old "buttocks" a break from this chair.

(I've just decided to give it a break from EVERYTHING.) I exit, chuckling...

A lot of fire in this write. Now, that it's out, take a deep breath.

I like it.

Dear darlin' Vicky, No DAMN You! No, not ever! You're not in a very good place at the moment and you are just being human!

This is a real, raw write!--and you put it all out there with panache!

Sending you warm hugs and healing lights,
Linda

There is no greater wrath they say than a woman scorned, and I think you just proved that the saying holds true Vicky.  Good for you!  His loss.
