A Relationship of Hate

I once believed your name was imprinted on my heart,

Only to find it upon the arrow that pierced it,

Your wicked personality draining me,

Infecting the hole left behind,

You may have eyes of an angel,

But I shall be fooled no longer,

For I saw the darkness in your looming shadow.

 

I told my heart to love you no longer,

Yet telling the heart not to love,

Is like telling it not to beat at all,

I was tricked by the sirens call,

And laid to bleed out when you were done,

Yet your putrid soul shall tarnish mine no longer,

No longer will your blackened soul damn me.

 

The breadcrumbs of my fairytail will be left behind,

No longer will they be able to haunt me,

Reminding me of the path I once took,

Tricking me to revisit the familiar roads,

I shall yearn for your touch no more,

For banishing the remnants of my love for you,

Shall leave me replenished.

 

I leave my emotions to rest within the grave you dug for me,

I watch them bleed for every scar you left upon me,

I will not cry and you shall not falter my path,

For my future will not rest in your clutches,

You shall drive your jagged dagger of hate in no further,

For I care no longer for your puss riddled heart.

I like the way you set-up the story with the fairytale.
"The breadcrumbs of my fairytail will be left behind,
No longer will they be able to haunt me,"
I like the story and the strong ending. Good to leave the bad memories behind. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Very nicely penned, John! Splendid imagery of a relationship gone bad. This hit very close to home, I could feel the emotions in your words, and when a writer can accomplish that, it's another successful piece! Great job!!
