The fires of my hell burn bright
fuelled by your constant denial of my existence.
The flames grow higher
slowly consuming every part of my being,
drawing the life I once enjoyed into hatred,
not for you, but me..
I hate myself for not seeing the things you saw.
For taking our marriage for granted,
for hurting you….
Without you my life is finished
Only you can bring me back.
I watch you through the fading sunlight
Reach in and take my hand
Make me love myself again,
Tell me you love me
Hold me…….

I'm not sure why- but I felt more power in the beginning and felt as though it faded towards the end. Nicely written though.

Such a sad hurtful poem, it really gets you to thinking. Great job. Good luck.

Very sad, indeed.
I will let you off the hook for not writing "black heart", only because you at least wrote the option (many did neither )
Anyway, good work here.
good luck in my contest

OMG! What intense emotion here! I could see this so vividly, the imagery forming a movie in my mind as the words flowed, so strongly, so honest, so defeated in the end and so very REAL! Phenomenal piece. Most different from the other entries and the just really touched me. Wow! I feel this. Awesome job!
