Ugly

With pen and ink

I can turn

my pain to poetry

I can write

that what you did

was love not misery

I can lie

and say you loved

with kisses and never fists

I can say

my heart is fine

without bruises or slits

I can lie

that you were sweet

fluent with flattery

I can say

that I never ached

because of your cruelty

I can say

so many words

like tulips and daffodils

I can say

you had sugary words

even though they killed

-l.r.

very touching piece c: i can't relate (yet) but i think that a lot of people could easily say that this has great meaning to them. i love the first stanza/verse, "I can turn my pain to poetry" - that i can relate with easily, the only thing i do nowadays is write poetry about what's hurting me inside :) very beautiful poem. great job!
