I hope one day your heart knows sting of pain I hope to see you writhing in your guilt I hope to God your tears are acid rain I hope to see your blood on alter spilt I hope to be there when you cry for love When lonely and confused your long for care I want to hear the silence from above I want to see your heart lie crushed and bare I hope someone rips out your every dream And makes you lie on thorns instead of bed I hope one day to hear your anguished scream And see you look to life with living dread For you have turned my life to misery I hope you taste the bile you’ve offered me Eileen

As you know my friend I love sonnets! This one a tad dark but such a pleasure to read. Justice is to be honored by it being served! Your words do that in poetic verse and are well crafted. A7...

Life is not always happy. We need to be able to express our pain or it never leaves us. You have shown us what we all feel at some time or other. Well done my dear Hugs Edith

It's not as dark as you may think. Blood spilt is on the alter of love...In other words, the author wants this person to feel the pain of rejection...Yes. I'm sure we have felt these emotions. Some of us are just better at hiding them than others. Thanks for the visit.
