No. Don't ask. No. It's not about my Mother, Ex-Wife, or any other significant female personage in my current life. This is about someone from my past, so dark, evil, and rotten inside that I was almost ended because of her. And yet she's so distant in the past, and so old that she's probably dead now, that she just can't have certain powers over me any more. I really just want to get this down. No. Again please...I don't want to answer any questions about it.

Ultimately, I get to say, "Thank You," Sharon T. Live with your poison-filled lies, or die with them, I don't care anymore.

A youth stolen...gone.
A young heart not looking back.
Faced to the future.

Can a lie take more
Than a Life? Can it not take
The youth of a man?

I've tried to forgive.
She, the bottomless liar,
Her crap she can eat.

My problems profit.
Your profits cause you problems.
That's what you deserve.

Foul, nefarious,
Evildoers such as you
Can murder a faith.

So even a fool,
Can see to just side-step you,
Darkness in your eyes.

See now. I own Life.
You cannot have any more.
Keep your old chick's puke.

Freed by opened eyes
From your cold, hardened torture,
That I deserved not.

Such animosity expressed here. . .it's good to see that you were able to use this poem as an outlet for expression! Keep it up.

Okay, that seemed like a giant release of anger. Feel better? I hope that you have a good woman in your life now who you can share your life with in all its simplicities and complexities.

Powerfully expressed. Excellent work.

Wow - how long ago? Reminded me of the first episode of the ex list I happened to catch last night, and her rocker boyfriend's revenge.

I think you are probably feeling a lot better now. Good to get it out and gone. 8-)

This is nice that you can do this kind of thing and let it go.
