Be Satisfied

By tarnishedheart

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

With everything I knew I gave the highest form of respect to a man, merely a man and kept screaming            be satisfied. With simply a word he could have taken every ounce of sanity I had left, draining me completely yet I said            be satisfied. With the outstretched arms that lay before him he could have at one point slit the wrists and I would have said            be satisfied. And when all I had left was a whisper to claim my love for someone who proved false I stuttered            be satisfied. Now that I am alone he comes around and taunts me in my dreams dancing with a horrible smile and I hear            be satisfied. His son will grow up filled with images of fathers with their sons and with a tiny voice he will say the words        daddy, be satisfied.
