Revenge of an unloved woman

by Traci Mabats

Love, the greatest lie ever told
you vile and unkind thing
I rue the day I ever thought
I found you
neatly wrapped in
~broken~promises
and ~selfish~desires
you bastard child
of a heartless whore
I will rewrite your wretched book
and speak only in
the tongues of apathy
Grey is this world
Grey is this sky
and grey is my heart
for it has died and left
me living
~this half life~
until we meet again in Hell.

Screw Hell, Earth have no fury like a woman scorned! I dig angry girl poetry, this is no acception.

Well it doesn't have to be about a woman, as I have felt this way and written it into many a poem as well. Another very well expressed poem that I relate to on a deeply personal level. jj

The author's note could very well be the last line of the poem; it flows just as nicely alongside the rest. I love poetry that really kicks you in the gut, and this leaves no disappointments.
