I am drowning,
In a pool of forsaken odium,
Because of all the rampant wrongs you've committed,
Against your own children and your wife.
The deluge of my fears and anguish
Has been enough to bind me into immobility,
And hostility towards the man I was certain,
Would forever be the father of my children.
I remember when all you gave me,
Were your sincere words or endearment.
But now you reverie about my suffering;
Your decadence is fit for that of two persons
And still you've not reached the climax of your euphoria.
I pray everyday God will end my time of tribulation,
Be my very own tourniquet
In this time of melancholia.
However I am partly to blame,
For misconstruing your delusional lies,
But plainly for believing in you--
You who were so cruel as to inveigle me,
Into trusting the words of promise,
You so deviously spoke.
I don't know if I would have ever been able to
Prevaricate you in the way you did me,
But remember this,
God is always watching you--
Your every movements,
The movements I execrated as dangerous and corrupt,
And you will pay for all you've done in the end.
Meanwhile I shall have my deliverance,
And will ascend into the heavens,
With my children;
The very same ones that were once yours,
Until you prevailed upon killing,
Hair by hair, One by one.
When I have had my vengeance,
And you what is justifiable,
I will reach out to the light,
Of all that is righteous and honest,
And push you into that same darkness
I have succeeded in conquering.
That will be the requiem of my
Subjugation over that great evil,
I dare call by your first name.
And that will be the end,
Of all you have imposed upon me.

You know. It's poems like these that make me wonder why on earth you would refuse to go to that writing camp with me. Grr. Watch Angie, if you write another poem as brilliant as this one, I'm going to punch you for everytime you've said you are not as good as me.

ha in response to foreverunbound - she'll have another one this good and its probably going to be my challenge. so you might want to get ready to punch lol
all right angela, you've written, once again, an amazing poem. though when i read that she wanted vengeance i was like "tsk tsk" b/c revenge is not the answer. but i'm thinking it over... and its like the revenge isn't a physical thing. its more of a "i'll be standing in the light while you suffer in the dark" kind of thing - and that will be the vengeance that will suffice.
hm. yes, very interesting. i liked it of course ^^
though it does have a rather dark and eerie feel to it.
keep up the fantastic writing ^^

You know what ...throughout i had this feeling that you know this person ....do u?
I am sure this is NOT you...but ur poem says that u have experienced the pain and the agony since the words came from soul and never for once i felt that it is a poem....it was nothing but truth....
Posted: Jun 23, 2008
A belated happy birthday Angela! I hope you had a good one! I truly hope this isn't about you, and if so, the end of this poem is strong and suggests you're free of it. Either way, this was so well written, and a worthy subject. :) ~ Nixie

All I can say is WOW, what talent. Very well done. You have trully mastered the english language at such a young age. Way to go girl. Keep up the good work.
Posted: Jun 24, 2008
I luv this-u have such an amazing vocabulary, and u used some of my ultimate fave words in the English language: requiem, euphoria, melancholy, delusion, decadence-these are, in my opinion, some of the most exquisitely beautiful words(don't know why but they just are)....hmmm...I think I will start a new challenge ;D

People and spouses don't realize that they can kill with their unkind words. They kill personalities, cause mental illness, I could go on and on. I loved your poem. I kind of hit home.
