Hell

Lisa Borka 1969 (USA)

July 22 
Free verse
Hell is a vivid image
in the portraits of my mind.
Always dredging back up,
bad mmories left be
It hurt to so bad
to be hit so hard
worse than of flesh,
my feelings are scarred.

Uncontrollable emotions
are overpowering inside.
It's almost as if
A part of me has died

I haven't a single
teardrop left
To shed for all the pain
Leave an everlasting stain

It seems the tears of hell
