Poem Title:
Poem
Abuse, of any kind, is unacceptable no matter what “good” comes from it. Abusive, you Lyrically expendable You set my heart ablaze At the peak of your animosity Your apologies lingered amongst the masses Sharing your ovarian milestones Within your visceral declarations Descending unto the bosom of guilty disgust I recall those thrusts of loving remorse As you latched onto my handsome errors Deeply Begging To be my future You got your wish. Mother’s Dearest wisdom became the sentence that now Imprisons our sun Light Shattering rainbow coated sins At the cost of humanity’s violent song You had the last word. You win, my dear silver medal. I was beautiful. The attraction of a stalker’s 4th eye As you prodded my truths Slow danced with these lies I became marked with the cold kiss of God’s wrath. Yesteryear became my final stand against your psychological combat You stole my innocence As you glorify your irradiated sunrise Your self-esteem digging holes in the dirt But, I was the flirt. You would sing to the heavens About how much you loved my all As you ridiculed the way I walked, I talked Oh, how you viciously assaulted my identity You fought for me Because you lacked another to fight against I will pray that you never cross my path. I would wish you well. But, that’d be a lie Which means now you’ll believe me I chose you over Father Figure, as you screamed, threatened, the safety of our world. But, I didn’t love you. I ached to hold you closer as you battered & attacked my brains unto oblivion. But, I didn’t love you. I kissed you in the name of hopeful forgiveness, As you frolicked in one-night stands with speculation But, I didn’t love you. Phone calls not allowed to last under 30 minutes For I wasn’t giving enough to our cause. So, I stayed As you belittled me with backhanded compliments & flirtatious apologies But, I didn’t love you. I was a screw up before I woke up, still I would call you each morning For you were my sunrise BUT, I DIDN’T LOVE YOU! … Could I ever find my innocence again? For I now carry lifetime burdens A payment plan I can never refinance As you walk freely with your disemboweled victories One day My sun Will arrive And I will smile again I will find my sincerity within the storm. I will no longer be almost beautiful I will no longer be almost beautiful. ©D.J.E.
