False, flimsy, fragility
That’s what you are to me.
Promises undelivered
Hopes dashed, I am floundering.
That’s the cardboard aspect of you
A brittleness, of little substance
A pretentious mongrel
Who temporarily gives in only to fool
Then strikes again with power unreserved.
I hate what you have done
You taken from me all I hold precious
And with malicious contempt.
Your callousness astounds me
You have robbed not just me
But the love I held above all others.
I see you smirk in victory
Triumphant at my lose
But your victory is fleeting
As we will rise like a phoenix
Vanquishing you to your rightful abyss
For you are as your name suggests
A pain, an irritation,
We will not cower to.

Wow Michael!!! A definite favorite =) This had some bite!
Thanks Yves, reflects my day, the bite I mean…..
I hit like instead of reply, a rough day Michael?
Yes but I’m a big boy I’ll cope. Thanks for asking.
I know you will but I am still sending you positive vibes. If it is anything you want to talk about I am available
Thank you. I will be ok.
You could have written this about my former husband, the father of my children. He was my high school sweetheart. He became addicted to drugs. I stood by him, even though he was also becoming verbally abusive. I couldn’t bear it when he brought the other women into the picture. That’s when I told him I was through and he needed to leave, that I couldn’t have him and his tramps and the drugs around our children. That’s when he became physically abusive as well.
Also, you could be writing about depression. That’s a bastard of a thing, and I fight it continually.
This is a fine poem indeed.
Thank you for visiting The Netherworld and for your kind words.
You are most welcome. Happy you there was connection for you in my words.
Intriguing poem envisioned by the prompt! Impressive.
I hope your day gets better!
Thank you so much. Have. Good day.
These types of people sure have a sneaky slick way about them.
I see from the comments that you’ve had a rough day. Hope it got better as the day went on.
{Hugs}
Thank you RoSy, I’m good.
Thinking of you today, Michael, decided to pop in. Glad I did since I missed this latest post. Touches a painful chord that I’m sure resonates with many. Hope today brings sunshine.
Thanks Mandy for your kind words.
I hope all is well Michael
