Suffering

Free-verse poetry on something very sad...

Rip ties to pieces;
Scarred and destroyed
relationships -

Fuck you!
Fuck you!
You're a piece of shit,
I don't know why I bother with you!
No wonder why your ass got beat!
You're a stupid miserable bitch -
No wonder your ass got beat!

Shit-stain on a carpet,
thrown up into her face.

Scar that runs deep,
through the heart a word arrow traced.

Now recognizable on her face -
The pain of so much suffering:

Discontent, and mellow acception,
Malice, and clandestine exertion,
Cramped pains and fractionated memory -
Brought to a beam so painful it must be concealed;
No feeling can be allowed
Or a total breakdown will be shrouded by tears.

She hurts so deeply,
She's been hurt so deeply,
By all that she's cared for -
Her only peace is knowing her pain lives.
