The Hands of Pain

My soul pounds with rage. This heart has been scorched, by your burning words. My soul gasps for light slowly suffocated, By your hands of pain. I bare the mark of shame. Your touch has maimed my body. My mind drowned out my screams. Blow by blow, Shamed so low. Never did you know how, Your hands of pain marked me.

Wow, I'm speechless. I'm lost trying to find the words to describe how this poem made me feel. Almost like a honey flavored sour patch gummy bear. Sweet until you begin to taste the sour of the pain inflicted on your heart. Nicely done. I love it. Doug
