A Few Scraps of Doggerel
 
Here are a few of my poems that I felt compelled to write. They're kind of sad and bittersweet, but I like them all the same.

Please, criticism is welcome, but, please, PLEASE, be polite.



One Last Letter

Just think of how special you where to me…
Think of how my last thoughts were of you, of us…
How the last words from my mouth were your name,
And one last utterance of ‘I Love You’…
Yes, before I took that final leap into Eternity,
Before I went to meet my maker,
My thoughts were not of me,
Not of my own selfish problems and sins…
But of you.

Your face, your radiant smile…
How you would toss your head when you laughed…
How your hair shimmered in the morning light,
How your eyes always gleamed beautifully,
Even in darkest of nights…

Yes Love, though I am gone now,
I wait for you at the end of that long valley path,
Under the old Shade tree, singing and praising.
Oh, and dear Love of mine, when I see you,
It will be in the presence and Glow of the Lord.
And then, oh then, never shall we be parted…



Abuse- Abridged and Edited Version

I tell myself that the marks you leave on me,
The cuts, the bruises, the scratches,
They only mean you love me…
Right?

I tell myself, that every time you yell at me,
Tie me up, lock me up, or slap me,
It’s for my own good…
Right?

I tell myself the only reason I don’t see my friends anymore,
Is because you don’t want them to hurt me,
You only do it to protect me…
Right?

Even now, as I lay here dieing and gasping,
I tell myself you didn’t mean anything,
I was being bad, and you corrected me…
Right?

Now, as I fade from conscious thought,
I know you always did what was best,
It was how I knew you loved me…
Right?

Abuse- Original

I tell myself that the marks you leave on me, the cuts, the bruises...
They only mean you love me...
I keep telling myself, that when you yell at me, or slap me, or hit me,
It's for my own good...
Even now, as I lay dieing here, bleeding to death on the floor,
I tell myself you didn't mean to hurt me...
Now as I fade from consciousness, the ambulance's siren echoing in my ears,
my life slowly seeping away with my blood, and my fear...
Even though you're running away, leaving me here on the bathroom floor,
the gun you put in my hands to make it look like suicide....
My thoughts clear all too late to help me, I could have, no SHOULD have ran when I had the chance...
Now, too late I realize who you really are, and my own faults...
Too late... Much, much, too late...

Goodbye.

You can't. You can only edit them. Just hit the edit button and erase the post, but erasing it will subtract any gold you got from posting.
