Christine Elizabeth

Two words that bellow in my head
like a bad dream i've yet to awake from,
chasing me like a run away locomotive.
Much anger in these (what should be) two
beautiful words, leaves me numb to the feeling
of real pain.
This woman who would love.comfort and protect
others yet spits her venom on my life...

Fast forward forty nine years, time to awake
and step safely into the comforting arms of my
own creation...

Chrissy Beth...

A nightmare no more...

Wow. I am confused. This is categorized as light poetry, but it reads so heavy to me. An amazing write, and it is so great to read you again. Good luck in the contest. Hope all is well. Love, Shar

Good to see you back at The Soup Christine! This poem is so sad yet honest. Glad there is the "nightmare no more..." Great way to end this piece. Best wishes in the contest. Have a nice day! Karen
