Pain does not always come from physical blows.
 
It cuts deep like a knife,
 
But not on flesh.
 
It cuts into the soul.
 
Monsters are not always the ones with teeth and claws.
 
Some monsters are like people who gossip.
 
The suck every last drop of truth,
 
And twist it with their lies.
 
The pain of deceit goes much deeper than their teeth.
 
The destroy trust,
 
And the things you valued most in a person.
 
It sucks everyone in,
 
And soon everyone is against you.
 
The people you thought cared really don’t.

 They just used you for their gain.

They wait in the shadows to strike.

 You are waiting for it to end,
 
The rippling pain.
 
Your heart aches,
 
And all you do is suffer.
 
You are a nobody in their eyes,
 
It doesn’t matter if you are hurt.
 
When will it end?
 
When will they realize what they are doing?
 
Never.

Thanks! =D

I know just how this feels! I've been through situations like this one, and I have many friends that are like that. You can really turn your poems into a beautiful story, which is something else I really like about them. Keep writing! :D

Thanks, I will. =D

I love the title; it attracts you to the poem.

So much emotion that everyone feels but is too scared to make public; this poem took courage.

Very down-to-earth and humane; yet again, beautiful.
