All She Has Known

Never ending pain

In a lost little girl

Surrounded by nothing but air

Wind howling through the trees

The night is dark and cold

So cold,

Her hand clasped tightly in his

Dragging her feet across the asphalt

She will never know love

The only love she shall know

Is the pain and abuse he loves her with

She continues to walk this road

Deeper she falls with false hopes

Of his stern faced revival

She knows nothing more then this

Then the pain

His lust for pain

Her obsession to be wanted

Slowly pulling her apart

Yet she does not struggle to free herself

For this is all she has ever known.

I don't know how many of these I've read so far. Certainly not 172. Maybe 8, or however many it is from the beginning to here. And the newer ones. I won't lie to you. I'm not one for lying. And I don't know what level of godliness you place on your poetry, so you can hate me if you want. Others find it reassuring. But what I'm trying to say is that so far, I've been unimpressed. I'm not exactly an English teacher or anyone qualified to make critiques on how well one writes poetry, but they haven't stuck out in my mind yet. I will persevere, however. Perhaps read all 172. Maybe. But this one.. while not exactly Marianne poetry, it was still good. I liked this one best, of the ones I've read so far. Perhaps there's better? I look forward to better. But so far, I liked this one. So that's something. Yes.
