Poetess

peto

The strings that held her life in place 

Were severed by some basket case

As hell's wind runs it's fingers through her hair

The sky was losing all its light 

The clouds had gathered overnight 

A white dove dipped in blood takes to the air 

She wonders why she let him in

When love became a deadly sin

She tried so hard to walk on leaden feet 

He cared more for the drugs and booze 

The time bomb she could not defuse 

Went off and blew her half way down the street 

The demons she had exorcised 

Will feast upon the heart he fried 

Though beating it has nothing left to feel 

The freak who visits every night 

Let out a scream of sheer delight 

Her seeping wounds the starter for his meal

Her well fed hatred fails to grow 

Extinguished embers find their glow

To re ignite a spark deep in her soul 

Her judgement it was poor again 

She reaches for her favourite pen

And slowly starts to climb out of the hole

    I really enjoyed reading this, felt an awful lot like my own story. But you are right, you gain power in writing about it not hating. Thanks for sharing your beautiful gift!!!

      Another wonderful supportive inspiring comment
      Can't thank you enough Christina
      Truly grateful to you

      I think we have to find a way out of the hole / dark place .. because we are worthy of finding our way into light and feeling happier
      I once wrote a poem about a cave and finding my way out of darkness .. tho I don’t think I have the poem anymore

      Such strong words in this .. you express so well .. how unkind some people can be .. and it comes through strongly in your words

      We all deserve more than to be treated like rubbish



      • peto

        We definitely do
        Such a pity you lost the cave poem
        Would love to have read it
        Thank you very much Violet

      • Caring dove

        Yeah , I don’t mind that I lost it .. it was ‘ sad ‘ and to be honest not something I’d want to share again .. I probably wouldn’t want to even read it again .. myself

        Maybe I could try to write another one about a cave , that sounds nicer


        • peto

          Oh don't go back if it's that dark
          Sorry for asking

          • Caring dove

            That’s ok . It helped to write it out at the time .

            I liked this last week but I was too shy to come by and write something, you seriously could have written this for me, my goodness so powerful and almost identical to my first love. I love your title is so damn powerful and your imagery truly is spectacular Peto. Thank you. You have a Dante Alighieri streak my friend I can just feel it when you write. ❤️ Maybe it's just the passion you use in your pen, what ever it really works

            • peto

              Oops sorry
              Meant to reply

              • Teddy.15

                No I didn't leave a comment, lol I came back to read one of yours this evening and I chose the same one for the title without thought

              • peto

                Or maybe its the tiger/ libra thing
                A wonderful humbling comment Teddy
                So glad you ditched the shyness
                Appreciate your input very much
