Standing In Silence...

My throat won’t open,
Choking back on the tears.
Tears that once again…
Were caused by you…

You try to justify your words,
But you only make it worse.
The words all jumbled in my head,
No energy left to sort them out.

I’m ruined…
With tear-stained cheeks,
And blood-red eyes…
Wet….like the rain pouring down…

The anger surges through me,
Like the lightening roaring outside…
DON’T TRY TO PLACATE ME!
Not this time…

You will hear my words,
As if they’re my last…
They scream from my throat...finally…
Like the thunder rumbling around me…

You are not the one,
Who holds my heart.
You are not the one,
That has all my love.

You destroyed me from the inside,
Taking everything in your greed.
Leaving nothing behind,
For me to rebuild…once again.

Now you must pay,
I’m banishing MYSELF,
From this hell, this prison,
That you keep me locked up in…

My last word to you would be…
Goodbye…
But you…don’t even deserve that.

It's been awhile,since I've seen the way, the candles light your face. It's been a while, but I can still remember just the way you taste! ~StainD

Hey man, this is awesome.
From the format, I expected it to rhyme, but I'm glad you didn't try to, as it would sound incredibly forced.  It works how it is, although you could change the format... thats up to you.

I’m ruined…
With tear-stained cheeks,
And blood-red eyes…
Wet….like the rain pouring down…

I like this stanza, although comparing tears with the rain has been done.  I understand how you want to keep your "rain, lightning, thunder" metaphor going though, so it's cool.


Awesome ending.  I love when poems end with two killer lines, and yours did.  It makes people remember it, no matter what you have in front of it.  In your case, the whole thing is good though.

Nice job
