Running down the road
Trying to catch your memory
Pain wells up inside
How could you do this to me?
I gave you my heart
I gave you my soul
But you left me here
To cry in the cold
You tore out my heart
and left me to bleed
You wasted my compassion
For your sick, twistid needs
Your body is a corpse
Dead on the inside
Living off greed
Feeling is what you lack
Which you desperately need
You bask in my weakness
And swim through my pain
You lurk in my shadows
My happiness you drain
I'm not blind
I can see what you are
You're mauled by your demons
You're cursed with a scar
That scar doesn't hurt you
You're unable to bleed
Your heart is black
You're an empty seed
If I scream at you
Instead of cower back
Will it take my laughter
To make you crack?
Pain of others keeps you alive
Misery is what helps you survive
You're the one that digs your grave
Malice and cruelty is what you crave
So step into the hole
And lay your body down
Grasp your lifeless arms
And embrace the lonely ground
Your haunting is over
You'll miss that forgiving sky
I'm going to destroy you
I'll bury you alive
Feel the cold soil embalm your body
Cherish these last moments while you can
Your time is slipping
Like rocks in quicksand
Cough up the dirt in your lungs
Feel the mud in your hair
You'll rot into the earth
Say goodbye to air
You'll never haunt me again
I'll make sure of that
You're so far down there
You'll never come back
Author notes
This is dedicated to the heartless person who stabbed my heart and poured salt into it. I've never been so betrayed in my life. I hope others can relate to this. This is my goodbye to his memory.

this is a very strong flowing piece of writing that shows all your emotions for this person and what they have done to you. I hope the pain goes with time - they say time is a healer. This poem just flows so well and sucks you right in.

I can defnitely relate to this. i like it; it's a good write. You've done a good job on this one. I love the imagery that you use. I love how you use a corpse and things that have to do with a corpse in order to describe him. Very well done, good luck, and thanks for the entry.

Very strong piece of work, nicely written; very expressive. Thank you for taking the time to enter my contest. 'You bask in my weakness
And swim through my pain
You lurk in my shadows
My happiness you drain'
This is my fave stanza. -
Pain and anger is such inspiration for poetry. I'm sorry you had to have such a terrible thing happen to you. But you created something amazing from it. I admire that from you. Goodluck in the contest.
