I Hate Titling My Poems.
*I am just really rotten at it, so ha I got away with not titling this one. haha.*

You're heated globes
flickering like the
flaming wax
on the windowsill
in the hall.
Your space invaded
your tears bleed
your anger eager
to wave under
rough and calloused skin.
I let them in.
I swallowed your hate
and followed the orders.
Your putrid attempts
to take advantage of
endless opportunities
to forever end all I was
all I am...without you.
In the end,...
I struggled
to drown all you are
in a bed you made
a prescription
you administered
so many times.

Maybe both.

SF, my dear friend . . . wow.  This is powerful and what images come to mind.  Very scary.  It will be better in time.  Time to dispell the hate and replace it with something more positive.  Nice writing here.  **HUGS**

What a poem! Very clever phrasing. There's nothing worse than a partner who demands so much they steal your you! I hate titles too. They drive me mad. I wish there was a title generator on the market!

Wow, as usual. So strong, and painful. As long as you write like that, who cares about titles??
Strangely enough, I often have a title come into my head and have to make a poem around it.
Love your work..

I swallowed your hate and followed your orders..its sad when we give up our "selves" in a relationship, I hope your sense of self returns and your pain lessens, Very well written, and we can't always put a name to our feelings, I agree with Cat as long as you keep writing it doesn't matter, Good, Good job!!!

Very powerful poem.....I don't think it was a torrent so much as a full blown storm! A kamikaze maybe....

Spitfire, this is very intense and wonderfully written piece, one that should be read on the porch but I don't have one. Hope everything is ok. Take care.
peace.

Hi SpitFire it's the LORD
Seems you might need some extra sleep?
Tonight you will dream a nightmare with insect in it!
This will give you visions on your next poem!!
Do you understand?
        "*Peace"
(SNAP!)

(SNAP!)
  
          "Zzzzzz!"
You will hug your pillow very tight.
Do you understand?
          "*Peace,*Peace,*Peace"
(SNAP!)

Interesting lines you wrote SpitFire!!
Now go to the top! Ha!Ha!

I've taken a similar medication...you penned the side effects well.
