Vengeance Is Mine

In the dark painful places hidden deep within

the shadowy places in my mind

I feel the screams - I feel the unending pain

It goes on and on - unfolding within me

spiraling upward - screaming - screaming

begging for relief

praying for a peace

that never comes

The passing years eat at me leaving only a living skeleton

some say it's anorexia nervosa

I say it is Death with burning yellow eyes

and sharp white glistening fangs

I come to wreak vengeance on those who brought me to this place

this cruel nightmarish doorstep to hell

I have been pushed against it for many years

finally I have stumbled through that door

Now I have returned to kill - to feed on their life

force them to return to me that which they took away

Life

they stole my life so many years ago

As I drain them of their life blood I ask with a fanged grin

how does it feel to be killed

instead of doing the killing

yourself?

[Black Cat Fever]

A very dark and seductive horrifying tale of revenge.
Coming back from the dead to seek revenge, terifying.
Impressive writing.

[Wolf's Dark Song]

I like this. Cold and calculating and asking a question we'd all like to ask, how do you like being treated in the evil way you treat others. Victory over those who enjoy harming others. A great poem.

Thanks very much.

I truly understand this. It speaks to me on a deep level. They may push to the point where they kill you, but beware the beast which is unleashed. You have a way with words your readers can all relate to at some level. Great poem.

[Damien Thibodeaux]

You're welcome.

[Coyote Song]

A very cold and vicious tale in this poem. But I'm sure we've all felt we wanted to get revenge on someone who had done us harm. Well written dark poem.

I like this. Vengeance can be good, especially when one has been treated very badly. Awesome poem. Well written too with dark images.
