A Child's Revenge (This is a PW check author's notes)

Follow me into my toxic garden
Sit and watch as my soul hardens
Blood boils as the concealed memories gather
Heart beating, racing faster

Darkness surrounds my wretched being
Silently, quietly, my inner core screaming
Apprehension grows as the Dark One nears
Forcing me to face my demons, my fears

As the icy fingertips  of death
brush against my naked soul
The thoughts that I'd suppressed for far to many years
Come rushing to the surface in a torrential rain of tears

Who were you to judge?
To touch and violate?
As I peer at you, through crying eyes
I find myself filled with hate

An innocent child gone
A vengeful woman in her place
Your lies and pleas fall on deaf ears
This rage will not subside
Get on your knees, for forgiveness pray
On this, your Judgment Day

From between  parted lips
Your life's blood drips
As I realize what it is I have done
Death comes to take your hand

The corrupt and depraved land
That was my prison
Will now become your tomb
As I look into your lifeless eyes
I remind you one last time

You brought this torment upon yourself
Dad, this was all because of you

My computer has been acting up and I couldn't get the PW link to work. The new poem link worked, so I went for it.

    GREAT stanza:
    An innocent child gone
    A vengeful woman in her place
    Your lies and pleas fall on deaf ears
    This rage will not subside
    Get on your knees, for forgiveness pray
    On this, your Judgment Day


    Its so sad though that the one that was at fault was the dad... hope this isn't a true story. Great poem
    Thank you for entering my contest and good luck.
