Peter's Probationary Poems - 4. To remain unnamed - Poetry Prompt 9 - English Sonnet
WARNING.
This is not a happy poem. Don't read it if you are not in the mood for unpleasantness.
It is also meant as a contrast to the previous one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To remain nameless
Memories stored in hidden compartment,
never to open and visit again.
Shelved in shady and dusty department:
I wish to lock you there, you, my first man.
Presents and knick knacks are long thrown away,
devastation and anger have faded.
The pain that you caused me I can keep at bay,
what lingers is me feeling degraded.
You used me to clean your own messy dirt.
You infected me with your diseases.
You secretly laughed and knowing my hurt,
left me alone to pick up the pieces.
Yet for a short while you did give me wings,
providing a glimpse of love like great kings.
