The soap bubbles
Cannot wash away my troubles,
And darkness cannot hide my scars
From remembering the shards
Of glass that are unclear
With the glisten of tears.
The candle light dims
On all of my sins,
And I can only sit in the water
To wallow in these bothers
Of never being the same as I was,
Simply because
He used me till I bled
My sins in red,
And I can't forgive
That he ever lived.

Bathing in Tears
The soap bubbles
Cannot wash away my troubles,
And darkness cannot hide my scars
From remembering the shards
Of glass that are unclear
With the glisten of tears.
The candle light dims
On all of my sins,
And I can only sit in the water
To wallow in these bothers
Of never being the same as I was,
Simply because
He used me till I bled
My sins in red,
And I can't forgive
That he ever lived.

Intense write, Jennifer. It is hard to deal with hating someone so badly. Reasons I am sure are there, but it does weight heavily forever. Great write.

Wow, this really got to me, hun. More than a lot of things that I read.
I could relate to all of it. The lines:
"Of never being the same as I was,
Simply because
He used me till I bled
My sins in red,
And I can't forgive
That he ever lived."
were my favorite. I wish I knew more of what to say. But thank you
for posting this, it's always nice to know someone feels similar.
Good work.

I have to agree with the first comment (i forgot his name LOL) that the first stanza stood out from the rest of the poem. I liked the idea of people bathing in thier tears. Now thats original.
Hugs,
Jane xxx
P.S. Is his name Clarke? |

| wow, that was really, really good. I"m especially fond of the first stanza... to have the imagery of soap bubbles along side the darkness trying to hide scars is a captivating sight. It was very sad and full of emotion that makes it the poem that it is... thank you for sharing it. |

I liked the usage of words like "bubbles" and
"wallow" I cannot remember what those
words would be called, but it is the opposite
of cacophanous. Great poem I liked the
imagery conveyed in the lines, "Of glass that
are unclear/With the glisten of tears." The
imagery I got out of that was fogged glass
because of the endless tears shed. A great,
intense write.

I agree with Clark there is something about the first stanza that brings beauty to them poem and sets the mood. Amazing write painful yet beautiful.
Again you bring color to the poem, keep working with color I think its your style and it always turns out beautiful.
