a haunting past....

Feb 5 00:34 UTC 1999 |
"now take this.."
pushed to the ground,
crushed by 190 pounds of sheer anger...
held down--
helpless and small...
"now you'll get what you want,"
"i know exactly what you want.."
screaming gives me bruises,
crying gets me a broken nose...
never ending--
thrusts,
painful motions,
being driven into the dirt...
"this is what you like, isn't it?"
"you think you're so perfect, well i don't see it.."
whimpering under my breath..
is this what i'm here for...
please let this end,
please let it go away...
i slash his face
"YOU MONSTER!!"
a blade to my throat..
heavy breathing--
i have stirred the demons within him a little too much..
"you fucking whore.."
"you fucking bitch!!!"
thrown head-first into a cold brick wall,
unconcious and left for dead...
take away this horror--
let me live as i once did...
make his aweful face disappear from my nightmares...
let me be whole again.

i thought i'd feel better after i posted this... i've had this in my
head for too long, its about time i let go and try to go back to life..
i don't know... it's not very poetic, but its been eating away at my
soul, one of the many monsters inside me that i needed to expose.. and
joe, i told you it wasn't pleasant so don't be all weird with me.

Saints have mercy. I hope this isn't real-life inspired?
you may reply privately by e-mail, if you wish..my direct address is in

Good heavens, this is creepy. Zoe, I hope you do know that we care
here, and we are supportive if you are writing about real life events.
(Poetry can be very theraputic.)

And yes, I have read the poem. Generally speaking I, too, find it very
disconcerting, owing to the strong language, intense pace, and taboo- nay,
shocking,- subject matter. I can't honestly say I like it, but I get the
feeling that this isn't a piece to be liked, if you see my point.
