Poetry: Emotional wounds

by Kathy Myers

Created on: October 30, 2009

piercing deeply to the inner crevices
of her withering spirit,
unrelenting,venomous, and malignant
devouring her slowly.

Giving her no earthly reason
to grasp for a simple breath,
silence would be merciful

to attempt to inhale.

Letting go of this horrid torture
would be welcomed bliss
never having to scrounge
for a mere sweet drop
to whet the insatiable thirst

to be loved.
