Go Unheard

It is what it is

Hearing my scream go unheard
Curled, folded in pain
Like a broken wing bird

The moon light shines in my eyes
Feeling his hands
Stripping my clothes
Every inch a piece of me dies

Careful he was
With the slaughter in the dark
Shred my soul
Tender enough not to leave a flesh mark

Bloodied and scratched is my skin
Praying to curse god
Blaming him
Telling where he should have been

Within in this hell there is a twist
Holding this knife
The blade has fallen in love with my wrist

I lack the courage , forcing me to miss
Taking a coward’s stand
Shaking in fear within my  Abyss

So I force myself  to forget
What happened that night
Some how feeling
This will make it right

I tell another soul not a word
With laughter I fool them
Hearing my screams go unheard.

Dear Shayne Harnden,

First of all, thank you for sending your read request. I am most glad that you have as I've found this poem as a precious pearl. Personally, I like the term 'inaudible' when referring to the thought of being unheard. But that's a choice of opinion.

"Careful he was
With the slaughter in the dark
Shred my soul
Tender enough not to leave a flesh mark"

"I lack the courage , forcing me to miss
Taking a coward’s stand
Shaking in fear within my Abyss"

These two verses were of my favorite in this poem. I would also make sure to spell check before you hit submit as I did notice a few grammar errors. But all together this and its meaning does exceed expectations in a world full of a lot of either bad poems or good poems. [: Anyways, thanks again. Great work. 10/10.

Wow... that was very intense and I can not believe the amount of sorrow, and truth, you put into your poem. It was really good though. Depressing but very good.

This is such a raw, sad poem .. it upsets me. I feel that its writing might be true/personal in which case it a tragedy set in your own finely expressed words.

No, not a piece to enjoy ..

'I tell another soul not a word With laughter I fool them Hearing my screams go unheard. ' .. .. and those are the saddest words of all.

"I tell another soul not a word
With laughter I fool them
Hearing my screams go unheard."

Damn. That's heavy. Loved the poem. You did great with your choice of words.

Poem is outstanding. So many description I like in this poem. The story read like a mini dancing in the story of Dante' book. A excellent poem.
