FOREVER I WON'T - NIFCA 2014 BRONZE AWARD IN POETRY

FOREVER I WON'T

I love you.

Always remember that

I love you.

Words ringing in my ears

Thundering pulses as the stinging

Flesh recedes

His hand glowing red

From the backward blow

But you know

I love you

Now knowing why he chooses

His steaks rare

Blood tastes sweet.

Sweet like the feeling he gets

When he thrusts and comes

In the night

He releases himself

To the oblivion of his pleasure

His pleasure

His battering

His laughing

His moaning

His bludgeoning

Remember Honey I love you

The taste is no longer sweet

But bitter

My pain

My anger

My helplessness

His power

Hangs like a dark veil

Of sticky clingy cob web

That creeps and covers my soul.

I drown in the waves of red fire

As my heart and my brain explode

Yesterday is the today of my tomorrow

My present is the past of your future

As life is finite

This too will end

Because

Honey I do

     But

Forever I won’t
