Revenge Poem by Wesley Mincin

Revenge

I let the hate burn through my veins
It sears away the present sadness,
Contributes to my growing madness,
Erases memories of gladness,
and leaves my warm heart drained.

Drained of love and humility,
Now blackened heart beats in my chest
I seek your death with little rest
And fume because your every breath,
Is a treacherous insult to me.

How I’d love to cast you down
Into an endless void of dark
To never hear the morning lark
But feel the shroud of shadow start
To envelop you as you drown.

For all the suffering I feel
I wish to imprint it onto you
I’d feel no pang of genuine rue.
All the pain I’ll cause to you
Shall never ever heal.

So I hunt you restlessly
Apathetic of how you die
Eager to hear you beg and cry
To assure your death is not a lie
I’ll hunt you endlessly
