Poem Commentary

Ugly has become Uglier.

The one I once adored, I now despise.

Unwilling to forgive the crimes of deceit that you have gifted shamelessly upon me. Will this misery forever hold me under lock and key. The wounds that you so carelessly neglected have become inflamed and infected. This feverish resentment delays my agony from being mended. My injuries bleed with each hurtful word you ever said. You leave me destroyed, degraded as you mock me and say, "It's all in my head." Time has abandoned healing the scars I wear. They deepen with every humiliating tear. The trauma you deliberately bestowed, will remain with me for all eternity. My soul, once whole and confident, assured to receive love truly. Crippled by your ill design, now reveals the deformity of love unworthy. I must own the pain of this love's demise. The way you saw it in your eyes. Your cruel display of affection was always in question. Yet it has made me wise. I now can see through a false disguise. Love can be restored, it's no surprise. The one I once adored, I now despise.

Powerful write full of emotion the hurt and anger in this piece is understood. The words really flow here, nicely done.

Damn. As a man, this seriously made me stop and think back and wonder if I've ever been less than respectful to any the women that have come and gone in my life...and Sandy, obviously, it's not "all in your head". Delusional people don't display the amazing clarity that you do, and I though the braying jackass was a particularly nice touch ;) As always, a 10.

Thank you for the comment.I'm feeling VERY scorned. I better count to 10.... LOL!

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
