My ex’s rotten body laid in the yard,
Encrusted with painful wounds which vermin devoured
I couldn’t stand him anymore; he only ever got to my nerves
I couldn’t leave him because he wouldn’t leave me,
He just kept on stalking and stalking me
Till one fine day while he was asleep,
I decapitated him
I impaled his head upon a sword,
and it was an action that was superb
I watched the crimson drip down the blade,
illuminated by the shining light
I killed the cherub on her way to his salvation,
because he really never deserved it
The year is now 2003;
a decade has gone flying away,
And the incident that happened,
won’t be regretted or forgotten
Author notes
This is utterly fictional and the reference to the date is not based on reality since I am only 17 years old, I set it at that time because I felt it suited the poem. But the emotion that I felt provoked me to write this.

Razor sharp
"I killed the cherub on her way to his salvation,
because he really never deserved it"...this states your resentment,frustration and pure hatred quite well.Very intense.

Some aspects are recent like the line 'He just kept on stalking and stalking me' that idea derives from one of my alcoholic ex boyfriends. Other aspects are just made up. Hehe I think I'll say I'm proud of this piece lol

Kim-some people don't like the idea of god, so it best if you just not mention it.
Now as for my lovely friends poem.
I loved the emotion in the poem, and the dripping blood -
DANG! THIS IS TOO DEEP. BUT I GUESS I'VE FELT THIS WAY A TIME OR TWO. OR MAYBE EVEN THREE. YOU BE BLESSED AND LEARN TO LET GO AND LET GOD. HE FIGHTS MY BATTLES AND SOMETIMES HE GETS THEM BACK SO GOOD THAT I HAVE TO ASK HIM TO HAVE MERCY ON THEM.
