Dagger

It really is amazing
How you have moved on
Restarted with living
Your regrets are gone
Just barge into my life
Give me your two cents
Bring along your strife
And leave me with resent
I guess you don’t know
Or you really don’t care
How you left me with woe
To drown in despair
Your maniacal meddling, has revealed the worst
The thought is unsettling, it’s practically a curse
It’s almost like you took a dagger
And then stabbed it in my heart
Then watching while I stagger
You up the ante on your part
Foremost you grab the blade
And then you twist it round
As I look at you; betrayed
You stare back; so proud
You have harmed me so
But my wounds'll heal
Soon you  will know
I’ve a heart of steel
So deal it a blow
It matters not
But you sir,
Bleed hot
Await

    Damn. This is wicked good. What I thought was really creative was that the poem was in the form of a dagger. That was amazing. AND the poem rhymed. I love rhyming poems. This is one of the best I've read so far. It's also very relatible. When my ex boyfriend broke up with me the onlything I had on my mind was revenge. But I'm over it now ... sort of. Lol. But I cant even BEGIN to find the words to describe what I think of this poem. Amazing doesnt begin to cover it. Thank you sososo SO much for entering my contest and good luck!!!

    I remember middle school when I had to write a shape poem in the form of a snowman. That's the only time I've done that. I think its safe to say yours is better. You sound like someone who doesn't let go of grudges, and I don't really blame you. Kinda looks like a shot though... I'm kidding, it's pretty good. Good luck and thanks for entering.

    "And leave us with resent" - I feel "resent" would be "resentment", the way you use it seems incorrect. It could be correct, it just seems incorrect, to me.

    I was going to suggest left-align, but, I see it's in the shape of a dagger or sword of some kind.

    I like the shape-form a lot, though it gets a little wordy in the middle--to fit the form. With the dagger-shaped form, rhyme is holding you back more than it is helping you. The wording, however is clever--a great quality to a piece like this.

    I love how this piece is shaped like a dagger. It adds a little something to it. I also like how I could feel your emotions as I read... your words came out at me like a knife...

    Great poetry. Good luck in my contest!

    Not only very well worded, setting the reader in the heart of the story it is telling and letting them feel the anger, but also great shape-poetry, with the poem itself forming the shape of the Dagger in the title.

    Excellent and congrats on gold.

    I do like concrete poetry, it is something rarely seen here at AP. Your poem is a strong one and has been crafted into the shape very well.

    Nice work.
