You have burned my eyes, till I could not see, piercing the deepest part of me, Deep holes burned, six inches deep, while I was at the wheel driving, I had fallen asleep, Naked I became, souless, empty from the ache, open, caring, I became, defenseless, to you a mistake, You birthed this child, you gave it a name, what you loved, now becomes your shame, black ashes fall, heart filled with soot, You built the wall, silence you became, death and mute, Starved, naked, I stood, you ate of my flesh, a crow, a raven, a bat, you flew from the dark wood, eating my love, my life, my heart, feasting upon my goodness, devouring me with every breath, sucking the life from me, I became death, These wounds became scars, thick becomes the skin, one that cupids arrow did pierce, now would, but bend, Healer, doctor,you will not be, Poison my body with fake philosophy, fake identity, personality, Yes your love is a flame, burning, destroying, one that rages, not one mortal soul could tame, Burning the bridges, before and after me, leaving destruction, a catastrophe, Burning my eyes, blinding, with smoke, choking me with fumes, binding my heart in metal sashes, Love is your monster, Love will no longer be the death of me, Life will once again, flow from these veins, not one scar will remain, I will rise up, from these black ashes, never to remember your name. My love, in dreams entice my heart to rise |

I didn't know that you had such pain and darkness in you Millette. I still love you though. When I see your face all the angels are shamed. |

This was written after that experience we talked about the other night, my counselor told be to write it and express it in poetry to let it go, to heal, so I did. Love, Millette |

I enjoyed your poem and it did sadden me - thanks for sharing. I love the end when your glimmer of hope comes out "I will rise..." Thank you for sharing, P |

"These wounds became scars, thick becomes the skin, one that cupids arrow did pierce, now would, but bend, Burning my eyes, blinding, with smoke, choking me with fumes, binding my heart in metal sashes" This is the first piece of work I have read by you. It is dark and sad. Those are the 2 stanza's that stick out to me. I enjoyed reading this a lot. It allowed me to reflect on some of the things in my own life. Very few poems can do that to me. Very nice. - If I cant bend Heaven, I shall move Hell - |
