Seaweed Monster

In the inner most 
Deepest depths, 
you tortured me 
until there was no beauty left 

A vile monster 
with lying tongues 
In my ocean deep 
You became slimy 

You attacked me 
without a heart 
Hurting me 
In the depths 

Creeping like seaweed 
all around me 
Covering your lies 
Disguised as truth, 
leaving a horrible stench 
In my ocean 

Piece by piece 
In tearing through the crack 
Reaching for the light of truth 
Barely able 
To breathe 

You will not drown me 
With your loveless heart 
The tide is turning 
You no longer smell sweet 
I see a monster 

Buried deep 
You left your scar 
Your vile treatment 
In the stench of hurt 

Looking to the heaven's 
I bled for you 
you chose 
To put me in hell

(Found it straight away!) This is very powerful, Liam. This is also scary, but not in the same way that mine is...it is the human behaviour that's scary in this case. Glad you managed to move on my friend. // paul
