Vinegar Love
A Poem by
Marie Harrison
An angst poem.
Vinegar Love
Your love is
Like vinegar.
It's bitter
To my tongue,
It burns my heart,
And it pickles
My soul.
Your promises
Are as empty
To me as my
Bank account
Was when you were
Finished with me.
To think that
I believed
That you could
Spend your
Life sharing good
Times with me,
Feeling happy
And secure.
That is just
As crazy as
Believing that
You could
Spin a mountain
Of manure
Into a ship
Filled with gold.
My ability to trust
Has been depleted,
Since all of my hopes
And dreams of building
A family with you
Have been defeated.
Thank God your sperm
Never took me to carry
A baby full-term.
Raising spawn from
You would be like
Learning to live my
Life with my brain
Full of worms.
Your head
Is so huge
So bald
And so ugly.
The view makes me
Laugh and
Smile so smugly.
Let's see who you
Find to take my place.
Poor girl,
After awhile
She will have no
Smile on her face.
For smiles,
You and your
Wretched family
Will surely erase.
So let me move on
As quickly as I can,
Only then
I might finally
Have a chance to
Meet a real man.
Goodbye my love.
It was you,
Who I cherished
For so many years.
No longer
Will I wait
Patiently for my
Life to appear.
Now my life
Will take off,
My dreams shall
Take place,
And my tears
Will dry up
Like your Mom's
Ugly face.

I liked this poem. I could feel anger in your words too. The last line in rather funny. The rest of the poem is darker though. Good job. Thanks for sharing. :)

I liked the way you painted the words with dark green, and there was humor in your disgust, determination in your pain, and faith during difficult recovery. Good write. Thanks for sharing.

Baha! Oh my god, I feel so bad for laughing almost the whole time... I just love the way this is written... I certainly hope you don't have these feelings, I know how anger and betrayal hurt and fester.
This poem just seems to me like an adult finally letting loose and being a little mean, you know? Nicely written (:

I had to finish reading this poem. It has a lot of anger and a viewing insight with an outside view.

Your tone is fantastic. I really enjoyed the sarcasam mixed with anger and dark humor about how you once felt and how you feel now. Awesome comparisons.
