Open Your Heart

He was going to rip it open anyway.

Come, open your heart
let the tainted light out
it will burn you and turn your skin charred and black
and you will revel in this darkness
you will revel in this space this peace
this piece of you that is missing
is held in my hand oh so tight
and this piece of you that is in me
is burning burning burning
it's the darkness don't you see?
it's this pain I sing and I rebel
and I slam into the ground and - this scream
this screaming is just oh so plain and too much
my throat is dry
and the tainted light from my ripped open
smashed up
broken destroyed heart
is just not helping at all
it's burning you and you don't even care
because you're the one that ripped it open
you said
Open your heart
and I did
and all that spilled forth
was darkness just like you.

Whoa! Knock me back three steps... You have one Fine piece of poetry here, Aveira. I don't know how long it was in Read Request Junction. LOL I just realized how to get to them, today. You have penned a Gem of a poem. Every word and line is perfectly placed. It flows like the reader is the one who is commanding the helm, here. The meaning is of the utmost importance, not to mention the depth it possesses. The ending was superb! I applaud you in numerous repetition. Outstanding work of Magnificent Excellence.

This my friend is amazing! I know too well this feeling you have described. There are times when love brings out bad in people, they feed off of each other in ways that make each other miserable!!
You did an excellent job of showing those who've never experienced it themselves!!
