I have begged
of you
one too many times
please
This single scar
that remains
runs your memory
deep within
I don't need
a reminder
of how deep
your love is
the poison
is embedded
in my memory
and it is
a very slow leak
Please let me enjoy
a slow release,
a monumental event,
to say the least
because I pretend,
that it's all for the best
but you continue to treat me
like a thorn
in the proverbial side
and I can't let it go....
Even though I try,
I promise I try...

first of all best of luck to you in the contest, i'm sure you will do well. i stared at the picture for awhile before reading the poem, and i felt after reading that this piece fits the picture so well. i believe that you wrote the perfect words for what one being abused feels (or thinks), "i don't need a reminder"...those situations are very scary, as i have been there myself. they have complete control over you and you don't feel you can escape and that's the scary thing. people say just leave, but don't realize its not that easy. you're brain-washed! literally. and you have expressed it so well within this truly amazing write...
