Brenda Chiri Poet Free verse

My Brutal Realization

A fierce ache within my chest 
an intense crushing feeling
The mere thought of you has 
my being vibrating from 
searing pain
How foolish to trust in another
 "I'm not like the rest!"....
only makes me doubt more
Physically...the scars I can handle....
it's the scars upon my 
Essence I can't take any longer...
Impossible to hide the harsh pain 
behind a smile any longer
I can't fight your ripping at my emotions 
with your rusty dagger...
You broke me beyond repair...
open wounds never allowed to heal....
if you had cared at all you would 
see this but I see you never did.... 
my brutal realization
