Wicked Avenger

Pretty Princess
Sweet Baby
you cooed
making me sick
I turned my head
unable to watch
detach
go away
deep inside
where shall I hide?
Forced to look into your eyes
head held in a vise grip
your evil leer
forever 
etched by acid
deep in my mind.
One after another
they came
while I lay
near death
bled dry 
fierce warrior
rising in my breast
she will not let me die.
Time heals
they assured me
pain will fade
the inside scars though
they are always there.
I beg to differ.
I watched you die.
One after the other.
You begged me to stop.
You begged with all your might.
Just like you
I was deaf.
Unlike you.....
I had the will for revenge.

In The End

I begged

waited for you to hear

to acknowledge

the words that I was speaking

only you looked at me

as though I spoke a foreign language.

I screamed

stomping my feet

like a child you said

driving me to rage

you still were not listening

only pretending to engage.

Tears

fierce

hot

burned my face

flowing over cheeks

dripping from chin

you wag a finger at me

disdain

cannot believe I will not shut my mouth.

Ragged breath

gasping

no longer can I care

furrows rent

flesh beneath my nails…..

I despise you.

I hate you.

I loath you.

False claims of love

never ending

liar

liar

pants on fire

I will stab you in the end.
