My body lies broken, bleeding on the floor, <br />The very image you once claimed to abhor. <br />But this is what you wanted, to witness all these tears. <br />Isn't this, for so long, that which you longed to hear? <br />Isn't that your goal in life? <br />To cause me pain, and bring me strife? <br />You, who told me many times, <br />That you wished I would just go die... <br />Are these the feelings you call love? <br />Is this what everyone dreams of? <br />Such pain and torment, all consuming, <br />Devouring me whole, yet still blooming <br />Out, to spread the cursed sickness. <br />But, I swear, as God's my witness, <br />No more will you cause me pain. <br />No tears shed for you again. <br />I'm through with you, with all these lies. <br />You got your wish-You, I despise.<br /><br />Elizabeth Sheaffer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/affliction-most-severe-i-m-letting-go/
