Relentless
Words from a loved one
Tonight is not a special night
It offers no solace
to words forcibly pushed by anguish
Purposely placed
The words come, they standstill
occupying what was once an empty space
filled with serenity
They taunt and flare with illegitimacy
But still, I stand
unprotected alone
exposed to the radiation of hurt
Still, they come
No barrier will prevent
the envelopes of pain delivered
Each recorded with an acute emotion
released to inflict maximum harm
A desperate reply summoned in an effort to defend
the last of a once built integrity
crumbing with a barrage of doubt
But still, the words come
marauders of this notable night
Ceasing with evidence of
their assured victory
they wander into the cold black night
Authors note — One of the worst kinds of pain can be from those we love. When the words come they come with a relentless ferocity that leaves your heart and soul with no doubt of their intent.
Thanks for reading!
