[hometext] => This took me a while to write... a very painful poem. I finished it not too long ago, but was hesitant on posting... This happened the day after my birthday, March 13.
[bodytext] => I’ve triggered his rage again, He’s left me battered and broken by his loathsome words… My flesh is stinging from the collision of his hand, My eyes are weary from this ceaseless weeping… I thought he had changed, Things were going so well, I was happy… A gift from “The Father of Gold”, A box full of nothing and a searing slap to the face… Whiskey on his breath, slur in his words, fury in his eyes, A monster, blinded by rage and intoxication, Birthday wishes from my nightmare, Daddy dearest… “You are nothing! I wish your mother had an abortion instead of bearing a creature like you!” In a fit of tears and sorrow, I drink all of it in without a word, Nodding my head all the while, Knowing it’s true… The faces change, Now you care about me again, Hugging me and kissing every tear away, Comforting me with embraces and gentle soothing, Just like a Daddy should… But you are not what you act out to be, I don’t consider you a father or anything closely related, For you are nothing to me… How I wish to tell you this, Shout it to your stupid grinning face, Give you a taste of the poison you gave me… Yet, my voice abandons me, I am left silent, with reveries of killing you… You leave with a stale “I love you…” And my birthday gift of anguish and self-hate… My little flicker of hope has died, Depression consumes me whole, And the Dark Era begins once more… [comments] => 4 [counter] => 155 [topic] => 13 [informant] => FleurdeSang [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
