HATCHET TO THE HEART

Folder: 
JOURNAL#23

such a beautiful idea

murdered needlessly

in the mean street

of such a thing as

an insensitive male ego

the blood of my fledgling hope flows

only to then dry

on the face of this still corpse

called my once good opinion

disappointment

doesn't even begin to name this

slice of silent hurt

that you have served up to me

so congratulations Sir

you have done a truly excellent job

of butchering this young woman's tender

affections up

I couldn't have asked for any better

emotional battering

why O.J. Simpson would even be proud.........
