You scream into the void now.

I'm an emptiness
created out of need.

A need to be away
from the attack.

When you release
the evil laced
words of betrayal,

I become the nothingness
that you now see
empty of soul and spirit.

Yet you continue to scream
into the void,
though your words
fall into forever
and touch me not.

I pray that they
will not be my oblivion
sent off to inflict
yet not felt,

are they destined
to wait for my end
to welcome me
into eternity?

Stop screaming into the void.

For one moment,

turn and let the words
assault you
as they assault me.

Then know the hell
you've made for me.

WhiteRose

Touch me with your whispers,
and I'll listen with my heart.

I hope this isn't autobiographical, Anne...
If so, please get a voice activated tape recorder and leave it on...
Then play it back for him...
I think it may make him stop....

Whoever said the old saying about sticks and
stones...well, they never did hear the words
of anger that cut so deeply into one's soul.

Very well expressed within this poem, and
I agree with Lyra....often times, hearing
ourselves after we have calmed down, will
surely be a very humbling experience...

WhiteRose - Oh dear, I do hope everyting is alright. I too have a "distaste" to put it mildly for loud words aimed particularly at me. For that matter....aimed at anyone. Take care. Chris

(big hugggssssss) Oh Anne, my heart goes out to you, I too don't like to be yelled out really loudly just as I never like to yell at anyone and I think it especially helps to calm down and talk heart-to-heart to resolve conflicts! (sigh) This is very heartwrenching, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Anne, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

It pains me to think that anyone could treat you this way. You are so gentle and kind---a delicate rose of white. I only hope that the fodder for this poem was a fertile imagination.

Well I was shocked to see this one had surfaced. How sweet you all are. Worry not for me, the Rose does bloom even in the most barren soil, for I tend to her needs when she is mentally abused and her needs are not met by the gardner.

Thank you all..
