Tortured Thoughts

Sitting here one dreary midnight Tears falling from my somber eyes So many thoughts flow through my mind Of all your excuses and horrible lies And all the nights I laid in wait Hoping that you would not wake To sneak into my broken room For yet another sickening liason I prayed every night for it to end soon Yet for countless years it continued on I told myself I needed to stay strong But it just went on for way too long No one came when I cried out I tried so hard to block them all out But now they're back and haunting me Will somebody please set me free Of all the tortures and all the hell I knew for so long and all too well

Honey God can set you free and help you heal. Read some material by Joyce Meyer. She went through the same things that your poem describes. I do love your expressiveness and the way you are able to write about it. Congradulations on being featured. Sara

The sad part is it happens too often and few are able to bring it out in the open. Congrats Marisela, on this courageous poem being featured. God Bless. Vince

I am back again to add that I pray this is fictional. I am sorry to be taking up your comment space but this write really struck a nerve with me. Maybe it is the act or the fact that all too often it continues on for so long but it makes me so angry. I think that you should send this poem to battered women and childrens centers everywhere. You really capture well the pain and torture of this horrible act in just a few words. Amazing writing. Steaming, Lolita

Congratulations on placing with this wicked write. Sad but very well written. It is a sad fact for so many that this kind of thing happens. I pray that this kind of wickedness does not destroy its victims. You told the story so clearly in your writing that I find myself writing this with anger lingering over my shoulder, for the act alone is evil and the one committing this act wicked as well. Again, great writing. Smiles and tears from Lolita
