Scathing Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Scathing



Many years ago you went out of your way,
To ruin me, my happiness and relationships I had...
With friends, family and peaceful acquaintances!

Through the use of rumors and allegations,
You began slanderous accusations.
And delighted to know I had broken down in tears.
Emotionally shattered...
As my associations crumbled to eventually scatter.
Nothing of that mattered to you.
You had something to prove!
Regardless if that was the wrong thing to do!

And I have not forgotten that at all.
In fact,
I sat back to watch you gain notoriety.
Establishing yourself in local and national societies...
Crediting your 'abilities' based on lies!

Those years have gone by now.
And still you sit...
Surrounded by artifacts,
Collected by you and your band of misfits!
Trapped within that mausoleum.
Unfit for those of true creative habits!

And as my reputation mends...
I send to you my condolences and sympathy,
That will not protect you from your sins!
I have forgiven you.
However...
The forgetting is not going to happen.
Not today or anytime soon!

You are one bitch I wish to see suffer!
Oh yes...
This is meant to be scathing!
You can not be buried deep enough,
For the heat I desire you to feel!
You planted seeds for my destruction, '
From instructions false from the start!
You set out to break my heart!
But 'that' has always belonged to God!
