Relentless Beating


scorched
by baseless
vehement
lies

bleeding internally
from your
stabbing
tongue

…and for what?

a single mistake!

one I have
regretted
and said so

Have you no heart?

you're merciless
relentless
bitter tongue
gives me cause
to believe
that you do not

I wish
for all the world

that I was wrong

    A+

    I know this to a "T", and therefore there isn't much to be said, other than it sucks to be in a postion like that.

    Again... to me it takes more to be a poem then a one or two words on each line.

    You've been gone for a while?!

    from the techno side of things, halfway down the poem a change from "you're" to "your" would be in order. I hope you hang around to add some Texan Cowgirl perspective to the pages. Need some inspiration? Visit APoeticInjustice's homepage:

      Thank you. I haven't been gone. I just quit writing. I lost my spirit there for awhile and it has taken me some time to gather it back.

        I know how it goes,

        I left in March to do photography, programming and what not, finally wandered back in in August.

          I'm sure you were missed. I on the other am just a speck that goes unnoticed, waiting for the day that I push myself to rise above it all and shed the cloak I now hide behind.

    That was what I call a quick trip into the dark side of abuse
    Very profound and straight up in the face of the anger that made hate with evil again brilliant words for such a short poem it reflects the picture oh to well

    Very short but you get the meaning of what you want to say through very well. Good job keep it up.

    Very good poem. Ranting isn't bad or so I think.lol I rant all of the time really but no one sees it really. When I rant in a poem they see it as a poem rather then a rant. I think this is a poem rather then a rant like some say. Keep on writting. And again very good job.

    Ouch! Actually... OUCH!!! Is more like it. It's interesting how some people can make a mountain out of a mole hill isn't it? And those who are quickest to judge and only see error are so good at detecting them because they see so many in their own lives... in my humble opinion.

    my, my, my, aren't we just ranting and raving? Funny how much it helps to let out that frustration and anger, and capture it in words.

    Nice job, hope it helped to make you feel better!
