Soul-Loss

hurtful words flung out
batted around by anger
stabbed through the heart

crumpled in a heap
screams echo in my head
sobs escape my mouth

only wanting to be loved
for who I am now
desperate for understanding

he doesn’t care
not one tiny bit
shredding my self-esteem

left alone to die
crucifying my soul
unable to self-resurrect

Desirae, words can indeed stab "through the heart." It happened to me just yesteday, and I crawled inside my shell again. Don't let anyone shred your self esteem. I can tell you are a very compassionate woman. Bless you, Carolyn
