    Blink of An Eye


    My anger is neither subtle nor paltry.
    Madness lurks under
    A smile plastered on my face.
    My eyes glassy,
    Not from tears;
    From seething rage.
    Trust shattered with the
    Blink of an eye
    That held No Shame.
    Fear that begs to be shut away,
    Put in a pretty box with a beautiful bow
    Pretending all is as it was.
    No one saw when hope fled,
    Leaving me
    Bloody and shredded.
    No one saw when I died that day;
    Died deader than a door nail...
    To what ever life had been.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
