http://carryontuesdayprompt.blogspot.com/ prompt "An eye for an eye..."

To Jim, My Abuser


An eye for an eye?
You robbed me of my youth
then murdered my soul,
leaving a void
I cannot fill.
I searched for pieces of me
to resurrect,
but the who I am 
is not
the who I would have been.
An eye for an eye?
A soul for a soul?
I could never do to you
what you did 
to me.

    Very strong.

    By the way, I love the intro poem in the top banner.

    I'm speechless ... such a heart wrenching poem.

    'at fifty-four I need a door

    to open while I’m sane' I loved this :o)
