Words Without Meaning

by Cathlyn Cartier

I am unimportant, insignificant,

faceless and without form or substance,

my name muddied and character assassinated

to fulfill another’s need to feel powerful and in control.

Love has lost all depth and meaning,

like water through a sieve it is gone.

You are the icon of broken promises,

the origin of broken lives,

the epitome of all that is wrong in the world today.

Not quite the angry tone of II, but damn close! - There has to be some theraputic value in this as well...now take some slow, deep, cleansing breaths and let the moment pass. - RCat
