Dirty Floor

An unforeseen heartache

That cracks her very soul

She feels her shattered heart

Oozing from her pores.

What happened to the happy girl

That once made her life whole.

Now she is an empty shell

Of what once was so pure.

The monster slowly bleeds her

Heart of love and hope

With each wicked word spoken.

Is he smiling at what she has become

His blackened soul satisfied at knowing he has won.

The monster looks down at her

With evil in his coal black eyes

And he feels nothing

As she squeezed the trigger

One last time.

Look at your reflection in

Her crimson colored life

Now in puddles on this dirty floor.

Debo, my brother, I still like your prose. I do notice a certain theme among the three that I have read.

You and me need to go out and get a "Happy Meal" and sit outside and "shoot the breeze."

Hey Along, you are always way too funny:-4

Hi Debo, don't think I said hello to you:-6 Welcome to the garden....your poetry is nice, but a bit heavy......

Have a cosmo with Along and me and let's chat.....We're the welcome wagon ladies.....Along puts out a welcome mat, and I supply the rocking chairs for you to enjoy. Unfortunately the doors to the garage were locked so we couldn't get to our supplies.....geeze where's the key Tombstone??????

It is good to be here and when you find the key

I'll bring a nice bottle of wine.

The three of us will get happy quick!!!

Nice poem, but yikes, I hope it is not based on personal experiences.

I think that you touch on something true though, there are many relationships where one of the partners is what I call a â€˜vampireâ€™ (could be either sex). This is where one of the partners slowly sucks the life out of the other person, always criticizing, never supporting, finding the negative in everything until the personâ€™s life is sucked out of them and there is no confidence left.

Thought provoking poem.

Thanks for your thoughtful repy Mikeinie.

So true that relationships can be like that.

Great word for it to.
