I Hope You Suffer

I hope one day you suffer
I hope one day you burn
I hope  one day you pay
For the love you have spurned

I hope you feel the torment
I hope you feel jagged thorn
I hope that you long to die
As in sackcloth black you mourn

I hope you feel less than dirt
I hope you twist with such pain
I hope betrayal drives you
Stark raving mad and insane

I hope one day you're haunted
I hope in terror you scream
I hope at nighttime you see
A nightmare in place of dream

I hope one day SOON you bleed
With a spear thrust in your side
Wounded for killing my love
Your soul not able to hide

Yes, it may be pure evil
It may be a heinous crime
But for my heart's rejection
I hope you get to do time

Yes, I hope that you suffer
I hope that you wail and weep
It will soothe my aching heart
That you didn’t want to keep

I likes this, can hear you screaaming this at some poor unfortunate guy lol, I think you've typed 'you' instead of 'one' in the third line, see, I take in every word you write. Take care, Richard

Wow. I could clearly and distinctly feel the scorn and enmity you are conveying here. Very strong, spiteful and venomous; I can absolutely relate to these feelings. Great job articulating your malice! Kudos :)

Wow! Malice...pretty strong word. I would say it was just a hope that the person gets a taste of his own medicine. But...You call it as you see it. Thanks for dropping by.

Thanks, dear Andrea. Glad that you have saved me from being seen as a monster. I think these are natural feelings. How we deal with them is completely another matter. Hugs

Thanks, Sunshine. Always a pleasure to hear from you. Pain lets us know we are still alive and alerts us to trouble, so....I guess we can't live without it. Hugs
