Aching Rain

Taken into the rain; controlled by my greatest rival
suddenly wet with a substance immersed with acid
An elemental disaster which sends my anxiety high on arrival
which leaves me in a state far from placid


With a Blood filled innocence; I spill my loudest screams
sterilized yet murky tears drip down my dispirited face
As you scream "I'm just worth a good fuck" this is reaching the extreme
contaminated with acid my blood cells turn into a frenzy; a deadly embrace

In this clandestine meeting you use me like a whore
just your tainted infection in which there is no real cure
It's men like you; diseases to society whom I really abhor
as the rain sinks down I realise It's reassuringly pure


This acid erosion is my inner ego melting; slowly dissolving away
sudden realisation that nobody's here leaves me in a hasty shock
Realising this man melting my ego are memories of childhood which make me decay
inside my mind I relive my family's devil speak; tongues spoke of me


Inner turmoil reflects in my mindset mirror; never to alleviate the pain
only causing more memories; more reasons to cry over loneliness; put up my shell
As god in liquid form falls over my curves I remember the chain
of past lovers addicting caress; lies which lead to the angel who fell

Falling to my knees weakened in a perfectly mind numbing plague
memories are such a bitter disease but never do they erase
Ravenous in self despair; longing to be beautiful yet still I'm vague
As serpents tongues whip at me as they find their way to my face


Screaming in inaudible monotones; far too weak to say a word
when angels fall who picks them up from ostentatious lies
Whip lash from venom and snake tongues go unheard
Saying the words "I'm here for you now" would be most wise

    What a beautiful write! Even though the subject was dark...Well, I happen to like dark subjects in poetry anyway The imagery was great, and the raw emotion just spilled out everywhere from your words. It was quite an experience to read...
    I'm going to favorite you because this was so amazing...Can't wait to read more of your work.

    wow hun your poem is outstanding with raw emotions all the way through and some unbeleivable imagery from the pain and tears of being hurt in childhood which I can relate to the power of your words are just screaming throughout the poem we can never forget the past nor can we ever forgive the abusers but we can help others with our expeireinces to not suffer in the same way with our words of wisdom and truth good luck in the contest hun maralisaxx

    "which leaves me in a state far from placid"
    I don't know if you intended it this way, but this line for me has a really dark sense of humour to it, just because it is such an understatement. as opposed to using another word like enraged (i know it doesnt rhyme, i just mean a word that describes the emotion, as opposed to its opposite). I really like it, it's sort of wry and bitter. this poem is awesome, it's so bold and explicit and full of raw anger. It makes me wanna go find some prick right now and bash him up :

    Interesting but different I may say. But i do like the part , in this clandestine neeting you use me like a whore, just your tainted infection in which there is no real cure, It's men like you; dieases to society. This is the part that I really like the most. Although the poem as a complete is truely full of imagry. Brenda Gae

    Score! I get to be the first one to comment on one of your poems! Those disgusting creatures can never touch you again, and while the nature of the poem angers me, the poem itself is written with your usual expert skill and talent. I loved the rain theme too, it makes a good metaphor to the despair.

    I'm here for you now
