My Shattered Love (Free verse) by Silverjackel
A tempest, strong and violent
Is far less ferocious than she,
As the waves crash fiercely into the ship
And reflect voraciously;
Her lack of benign attributes
Would shatter it to pieces,
Crack and splinter the hardened oak
With vigor that is ceaseless;
Without remorse, regret, or shame,
The vessel would be lumber,
As her typhoon of arrogance
Would send the ship down under;
And never a cry out for repent
Would be uttered by she,
She would stick a dagger in your chest
And think it is amity;
This demon of remorselessness
Left me writhing on the ground,
Tore my heart to tiny bits
Then quickly turned around.
My love is but a dismal past,
Shattered by her malice;
The only prayer that I now speak
Is that she be damned to Satanâs palace.
