Sticks and Stones

by Rosamay   Jan 22, 2016


Sticks and stones
may break my
bones..

Your words linger in
the air that cuts
deep into my skin like
knives.

You stabbed me in
my back once again,
and left me in bloody
agony.

Sticks and stones
may break my
bones.

Your twisted smile
makes it harder for me
to breathe.

Why did you do this to me?
I did nothing to deserve
your ignorance and self pity.

I should of known when
you betrayed me before
you would strike again with
your venomous hatred.

Sticks and stones
may break my
bones.

Your heart is nothing but
coal, surrounded by
darkness.

Your bittersweet lies full
of pain that you casted
upon me, but now
I shall not believe them anymore.

Sticks and stones
may break my
bones.

You've always been
a FAKE, yet I never
noticed until your colors
revealed to me.

No more venom,
no more lies..

You've fed too many lies,
now you are
forever despised.

(This one may not be as good, I had to re-write it so it I am not sure if it came out well.)

    Lilith,

    This is a real deep Poem. With a deep meaning behind it. Words can hurt and I for one know that first hand as they stay forever. Such a powerful, emotional write.

    Hello,

    I like the refrain. It cleverly steers the reader, helps them to understand the pain of words, especially lies.

    The simille of a cold heart 'coal surrounded by darkness' was effective.

    Another good poem.

    Well done and take care,

    Michael
