You WILL remember

You WILL remember me; I promise you that,
when you look at the wreckage of your life.
I'm not going to kill you; that would be too easy,
I'm going to teach you the meaning of strife

When I am through with you, no one will speak your name.
You'll be talking to your shadow for a friend.
You'll be dwelling in the shadows, and hiding from the light,
and begging for your time to reach it's end.

When all is said and done, you will envy the lepers
who have, at least, the compassion of the church.
while you will see nothing but the backs turned on you
and your family will leave you in the lurch.

You will learn to fear the mirror, as it reflects your shame,
and pray no one will recognize your face.
you will long for a companion, at the same time shun the same,
and, even all alone, feel out of place.

And as you rot in loneliness, imprisoned in your soul
and praying for the warmth of death's embrace
you WILL think about the things you did to me;
when you close your eyes, you will see my face

    excellent

    Excellent and well-written poem. It is strongly stated as is warranted by the force of your betrayal.

    I was a great read!

    Good luck in the contest!

    What did this poem teach me?

    Karma is a bitch! And if one feels that they must bring pain to another, they'd better dig a second grave and call in advance for a hospital room, because they'll need it more than they person they have targeted! Why does this poem scream "evil laughter"? Because it reminds me of all the movie and television serial killers and some of their final words. But the person in this piece who deserves what's coming should've thought about what they were doing long before they allowed it to happen. I know so many who deserve what they now receive.

    I think this is the best I've read yet of the "revenge" poems. Even I, the perpetual forgiver, have a "don't push me or you'll regret it" side.

    Many blessings,

    Raven Aurora

    Oh, absolutely necessary! ...I swear and call 'em every name I can think of (in private, or sympathetic audience). Then, I smugly give 'em over to their chosen course with, "May the Lord repay you according to your works." (to quote St Paul)
    Sometimes I have even witnessed boomerang karma...amazing!

    This is true
    but it does feel good to rant sometimes, even if you don't actually do anything mean
    think of it as a safety valve
    PSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

    Yes, Tahuti,I figured it was something like that ...I was just trying to ensure no one else would think it was something to emulate.

    P.S. Actually, the best 'revenge' is success...drives your enemy crazy. Or, just be nice to them...

    "If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat;
    And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
    For so you will heap coals of fire on his head,
    And the LORD will reward you." ~ Proverbs 25:21-22

    well, to be honest, this is just a rant. It's just me letting off some steam. I just had a meeting with the social-security judge from hell, so I needed to vent a little.

    Good poem...bad idea!
    Who would want to chain themselves to that kind of karma? What you wish on another you will face yourself. Let go, and they will bear their own burden and consequences for their actions, at their appointed time. Simple, but true Justice.
    Love & Light,
