Spirit Unbroken

Dear loveless one Your hatred may have left holes in my emotions and your fury unleashed scars upon the spirit you will never possess... Even though your tongue dug my soul's grave and your hands muffled my cries and bound me in chains to sinking death as a child, I kept on living for hope's sake. You deafened my ears to joy's call and love I passed by, oblivious to its tender touch. You blinded my eyes to the beauty that was staring me in the face and stitched up my mouth to prevent your own shame escaping in audible screams... Today my body rests in the ocean and still you are troubled. Why then? You got what you wanted, didn't you? You murdered your own flesh and blood to compensate for your flaws. You know... You know you can't run from a past so dark. You hear my daunting laughter and the endless pleading haunts you. I grip your black heart frozen and whisper, "Goodbye." Sincerely, Spirit unbroken.
