*lost For Good

Rating: 3.1


You said
I was the sight and epitome of shame
The voice and resounding sound of pain
Now look, it's your fault and you are to blame
What a blessing it would be if I was lost...for good
Deep in my mind I said, does my presence evoke a stir so you are shook?

You said
I was a mind imprisoned, a festered state to comfort
A thought that bore no existence, a lost battle, too ruined a fort
a long parched season, a cold swamp that freezes a wart
What a blessing it would be if I was swept out to sea...in a storm
Deep in my mind I said, does my will to live confine your freedom?

You said
I was a scar that ever lived, a smile forever to be hidden
A face long forgotten, a memory never out for sharing
What a blessing it would be if I could be flushed out...for good
Deeply I said, I could've been all that but I know who I am - Indeed I do
To this day I say, a blessing is to be forgotten by you...for good

There seems to be a lot of negative feeling in this poem having read your other work I am not inclined to believe and put it down to variation of subject matter 10 Chris

Sylvi the hurt comes through, it must have been an appeasement for you. Well written now the hurt should be well forgotten, so leave it now. Bob

This reads like a vicious archaic curse and I like it for its power. Anger has to have a voice sometimes and you've given it one. I hope he didn't actually say too many of these things, though, Sylvi.
