Poem tells about the nightmares I was having at the time my boyfriend was abusing me. |
THE STING OF BETRAYAL ____________________________ From the depths of the eternal came the roar of a cry Fire as below, one step, leap, no more Eyes only see, unbreakable chains bind Flaming whip send feeling, poison its sting Laughter heard, one's power, intent its pain Energy drains slow, images forever tattoo in mind Scars blood red, if eyes can see One soul, who has been betrayed Cold descends, darkness found home Strength of power, delivers fear Words spoken loud, riddled deceit Cries heard, but silent known Eyes of hatred, bright their glow Dark figure stands, black of soul Watch to know, watch to wait Whip to strike, whip to tear One soul, who has been betrayed Hands fight hard, to what? Laughter echoes, strike upon strike Voice in head, questions reason An answer, will not know Soul eyes turn empty, close to hide Dishonor know true, forever damaged One soul, who has been betrayed Many voices speak, all to agree Storms close in, black rides fast, death its wake Talons cinch tight, white who carries, disappears Shield and hide to keep from harm Protect at cost, keep safe from the one One soul, who has been betrayed |
