The sting

Poem Commentary

I'm not gonna lie, I'm very upset right now. I needed some way to vent, no matter where, no matter how cryptic.

The sting

There was
Beauty unmatched
A girl like no other
Sweet and kind
Gentle young one
So soft
So beautiful
I felt
Alive
Emotions mean nothing
Now
It only takes one
To ruin it
One
Sick, disgusting, loathful
Man
I'm trying not to lose it
I'm on the edge
Ready to destroy him
Make him hurt
For these lies
The last bit of the fuse
My tears show me
That I'm still alive
She was cold
I wish
I was the one
To keep her warm

I love your emotional, off the cuff way of writing. This was cryptic and intriguing. The emotion flowed off the pages through your words. Write on..........E

"It just takes one" a very poignant line. Liked the rhythm and the rhyme. The form is different, and disrupts the readers flow. However the meaning and emotion it provoked in me were honest and hit home. Write on.....

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
