A Stepmothers Love

Hug him,
Comfort him,
Nurture him,
Her guise a sweet yet cunning ruse.

Break him,
Twist him,
Ruin him,
She was my fathers own to choose.

Hold him,
Calm him,
Kiss him,
A joyless game to play.

Drown him,
Choke him,
Smother him,
I almost died that day.

Breath taking,
Promise making,
Seraphim,
Two minds two worlds apart,

Soul faking,
Heart raking,
Psychopath,
I saw this from the start..

Wow Rohan...this is a top winner for me! It is chilling because of the truth it contains. A child should never have to live with this kind of fear and horror. You outdid yourself on this one and I am faving it! Congratulations on your win. #7 ; )

Congratulations on your placement in my contest! The style and fast paced way you worded this poem went perfect for the disorder of split personalities
