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

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.
