Antipathy
A poem from Divine Madness
He betrayed me again -
desecrating my flesh,
tormenting my soul.
I lay bare, empty.
My pain separates.
My mind relinquishes
bitter tales, escaping
as blood spills over
my canvas. I no longer
feel, love, live. A relic
of my true self, I splinter
as my fragmented pieces
crumble under the weight
of his antipathy.
