Regret.
The overwhelming sensation I'm faced with,
Every time your face enters my mind.
The inertia of my hate for you
Could propel Endeavour far past our galaxy.
Tainted.
The part of my heart that once held your voice,
Is now a barren wasteland,
Anthrax laced and Arsenic filled.
The syringe of poison with which you injected my mind
Is useless to you now.
Apparent.
Crystal Clear to me now,
The monster you didn't become,
But were, the entire time,
Concealed beneath a brilliant facade
I was to naive to recognize.
Prey.
Like some outlandish beast,
Feverishly lurking in the bushes,
You sought me out,
For personal gain,
A conquest that happened to last
Five years too long.
I am forever your tattered Scarlet Letter,
Thrust amongst the rest,
One of many,
Forced to live knowing
I'd be a completely different person
Had you not staked your claim
On my soul.

amazing
This is an amazing poem. I wish that I could write as well as this; your images are perfect, and your anger and emotions are so perfectly portrayed. There is such a wide range of emotions, which just creates a perfectly honest and real poem, without sounding contrived or too overly thought out. From what I see it's a scatter of thoughts, arranged just perfectly enough to be random, but not so random that it's disorganized.
I loved it. Great job.
