Punished

im just a bug in the dirt avoiding the light because it hurts i've got to learn something true, i have to find a heart to crawl into, you burrow into my mind,broken wings leave me behind punished i crawl with out hope screaming words on which i choke the torture i suffer, the forgiveness i do not get losing you was hell and our paths are now set

Interesting word choices "a bug in the dirt." You can't get much lower than that - this poem shows your despair, your pain. Very emotional. Kim

I really like this one, Jacqueline! It FEELS like someone being punished. Great ending line.
