I could never talk about
What I felt that day
But now he's going to listen
To every word I have to say.
The words that have taken so long,
That is seems to be years,
To finally utter even to myself,
And maybe, I have no more tears.
I was so young once,
But I'm not anymore
I had to grow up so very fast
And that shook me to the core.
He took everything from me,
And I'll never completely heal,
A part of me is still tender, still raw
Under the scars, I still can't feel.
But now at least I can say,
I hate you just for being you.
I hate what you did to me,
Most of all, I hate what I still go through.
Now, it's said and done,
And I do hope he heard
Everything I have to say
Every. Single. Word.

this is still a tender subject and so many feelings and emotions trying to get out that it's hard to choose the right words...

First, excellent penning love
I can feel so much pain within this piece..it greatly saddens me that you suffer [both from the past to the present]..when love becomes pain(s), the deep scars never seems to heal..I have many hidden scars as well that only come out in loneliness..I can only say, that I am here for you love if you ever need a hand or need to talk..I think you are amazing and adorable..Stay strong honey
Much love..
..David

Way to get it out! I am glad you got some of it out but I feel that there is more to this that needs to be said. All in due time my friend, treat it as the ground dig a little every day and eventually you will hit the buried target and he will feel your wrath. I hope he does! excellent write!!

Hmmm....
.... i could write a similar poem, and really I have written similar at times. I do feel your pain. I am not sure what you went through exactly but I can only assume it was like my experience and how sad it is to have you pride and virtue ripped from you like that! I have moved on and can talk openly about what happened to me, except for with my folks for they knew and did nothing to prevent it from happening repeatedly and for that I can not and will not ever forgive!

Thank you and I'm sorry for your suffering, I really wish I could say I was the only one in the world who ever felt that pain because I don't wish it on anyone.. but I know I'm not, but I'm thankful for the support and help I've found here.

Again another great poem. Being hurt the way you were is never right. The pain may never completly go away but you should know you will always have a place to lay your head. I loved your raw emotion in this good luck in the contest SH
