somebody's dungeon

What would you know of awkward
and strained, or simply pained
at breath entering lungs
when death should be done
finished...the finality
hardly worth the struggle.

You, who with numb indifference
and plasticine inference
know nothing of real,
never pretended to feel,
should stick to words
that are vague
opaque, transparent,  
  and veiled...
I'll hear nothing more from you.

This is a very strong
and confident poem.
I really liked the message
which it depicted.

^*Wonderful read*^

~ Wow! Now that kind of writing is one of the reasons that I have missed you!

  
"I'll hear nothing more from you." ~ You are woman and I hear you roar! You'd make Helen Reddy proud!

Springtime hugs,

Thank you all for your wonderful comments.

I've been missing you all, and wish I had more time to be here amongst my friends.
