Weed

Understand, that I refuse to be put on trial for my pain
as this garden wilts vacant from your infliction of strain,
I will not be stained with this unfinished sketch of dreams
or the bond placed on crystal, shattered at the seams,
I will not accept the endless tears from betrayal you did impart
embittering cotton candy drops of faith within this heart,
I cannot be at peace with a stolen tomorrow from yesterday
or the reminder of letting go that never ceases to play,
scales of justice tarnish...fate's judge is rendered useless,
retribution anulled, your victim - jaded and worthless,
a devastating thorn to the soul,it is,when a rose rejects love's seed
with scar of spirit, I realize that you're simply just another weed

Powerful, powerful, powerful!  The most powerful of yours I've read...though I know I've only read a smattering of your works.

What has happened since you've been away?  Too much pain, I would say, otherwise, how could you ever write of it so well.

Sven, Karilea, Marge and Virgina: Thank you for taking the time out to read this personal piece, these words have longed to break free for a long time now, and although justice can never be served, at least I find comfort in verse and in understanding poets like you!

Melissa~
