Verbal grenade

by Masked metaphor   Dec 11, 2013


HOLD, AIM, TARGET, RELEASE...
wait a few seconds to watch your world disappear.

Your verbal grenade continues to capture me,
holding me captive,
yearning to be released.

Please free me from your poisonous words,
Splatting out filth,
painting my emotions wall with black colours of
lies, deceit and guilt.

Hope wears thin on the thin metal grenade pin,
as darkness threatens to cover the innocent
minds field with the ashes and debris of sin.

Hatred padding my once stable life with steel
as your blaming nature readies me for the kill.

The pain you inflict upon me
builds layer upon layer inside of me,
the time is coming near where...

nothing and no one can stop me from the explosion erupting from my heart and souls epicentre.

Death is no longer a fear but a release.
As you dispense the clasp and grenade spoon,
not even a prayer can save you,
from the multitude of thoughts that continue
to mutate inside me each day.

May the darkness light the path
of your long forgotten misery.

May you find shelter from the abuse
you punctured me with all through
my childhood.

As I combust
my bottled emotions are set free.
Fragmented and broken,
frozen in the moment,
as chaos is the emanating solution
to all of life's negativity.

As the sorrow shatters and flutters
down like rain drops over my
eternally lost and dying world.

Remember one thing...
It was your words and lack of listening
that darkened and deformed my once
innocent soul.

    I don't know what to say , its the most powerful piece i,v ever seen ' they were more than just words , it was like a painting ; of the life eternal prison , the sorrow withing the knowledge the wings of sadness that keep us flying into the colorless nothingness ' it's a confusion between reality what we want and need and the thoughts about where we going , the madness what may exist beyond and within .

    just so loved :)

    Strong! You opened up in a ambush of emotions, what a write. This is an great poem truly, it really captures a lot of strong feelings which have built up over your life, the way you decided to put this one together is unique and really neat. I like the idea of words being grenades because it is so true. I never have thought of that metaphor before though so thanks for opening my mind. It's strong I feel empowered reading it and seeing how it started with you feeling captured and as the poem goes on you begin to pull the trigger sort of speak and let all of this persons verbal grenade bounce off of you and become a grenade yourself by expressing yourself and how you feel! Very powerful, very telling. Stay strong.
