Untamable

Dear, I am here before you with a heart full of pain and a head full of hatred. 

The fog has cleared and the mask has come off.

“Back, back!” I say.

Return to your cave that is so deep and lonely.

Let the monster return to you and consume what you are. 

With the green of your eyes and the ravenous teeth in your mouth

Eating away the good to be infected with the bad. 

As I stand before you now, my skin grows bumps and chills race down my back.

My bones will rattle and as your heart cracks, I will scream to the sky that I am free.

The chain has broken and I've been released.

I’m left with pretend memories and scars too real. 

"I do not belong to you!" I say. 

You let out a roar so mighty and loud, I refuse to be owned, I can never be tamed.

My soul is as wild and free as the sea.

I must become the tide; it’s time for my leave.

Say goodbye to me foul beast, this is the last you'll see of me.

Maybe, one day you'll realize what you did to me.

Farewell creature, remember this day as I sail away.

Shrinking into the distance is somebody. Excuse me. Something, I used to know.

"My bones will rattle and as your heart cracks, I will scream to the sky that I am free." I love this line so much. Besides that, everything flows so well, i'm in love.

Heh heh Victory! feels dang good, doesn't it? Victory over oneself, most of all. But leaving an...ahem...unhealthy, shall we say? relationship behind feels pretty dang good, too!! I like the descriptive prose and especially, the strength, in this piece. Your ease with words is amazing and very cool. Well done!!

Good to create distance from people who broke your heart. People don't change. I like the direct and honest view in the poem. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
