PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I.



Scratch. Scratch. Scratch.



Pencil pressed against

sheet, scribbling

hate-filled messages

to erase your love.



II.



Snip. Snip. Snip.



My blunt-edged words

cut like razors

severing myself

from receiving kindness.



III.



Tear. Tear. Tear.



A sheet of loose-leaf

ran along my finger-

perforating skin,

left with stinging guilt.



IV.



Lick. Lick. Lick.



Envelope closed with

good intentions,

but containing malice;

I sealed my own fate.
