Eternal Torment (Poetry)

I wrote this poem in December, and have been waiting for a right time to share it. With this piece, I had challenged myself to break my usual structure and attempt to let the poem speak.

Eternal Torment

Desolation’s mistress
wailing in agony,
               her fate hexed by
               her lover’s spouse,
               Misery.

she pursued death
in a pond of Sorrow,
               awoken by a peck on her lips,
               a wrath of Fury unleashed
               from deep within.

with her shaking hands
she clasped Remorse,
               her chest pierced
               by the dagger
               she honed.

a damned eternity
Tormented by retribution,
               her vile heart
               had long forecast
               tempests of self-Loathing.
