Bitter

The format fell apart the first time so I will try it again for the third time. I hope you will read it.

 

My words lay coiled

waiting to strike like

an adder I lay in wait.

A deadly bite I would

give leaving you writhing

on the ground in pain

much like you left me.

Again and again I would

strike until all the pain

you caused was yours again.

My soul despairs twisted

in so many knots like 

an angry cord.

Imagination striking out

over and over…

Bitter words unspoken

like acid on silk

my peace has been

eaten away while you sit

in your ivory tower built on

the bones of another.

Those to whom your

commitment you gave

lay cast aside, stumbling

blocks unwanted until a

further purpose they may serve.

Hearts truer than yours,

unconditional love waits…waits  

wanting only your approval, your love.

Congrats on your great winning poem.

You put a lot of work into the presentation of this poem and was work well spent. The content tastes just like the title. The whole poem came full circle and i must give kudos for your efforts. Great job.

This is truly awesome, I love the presentation as much as the content. That winding red snake looks ready to bite, excellent.
