Revenge Poem by Lilith SpiritTheif

Revenge



I don’t quite understand
Perhaps I should be crying instead
Then you would see
I only want to be free.

I don’t quite understand
What did I do to anger you?
I am now blue and black
Is it because of a skill I somehow lack?

Please help me understand
I seem to be dying but why?
The ground is getting so very cold
Now I feel so weak, I feel so old.

Why can’t I understand?
Shouldn't it be I crying?
So then why is it you?
Are you in pain too?

I don’t quite understand
I seem to be dead now
Or why else is it that I can’t feel?
Dear devil I want a new deal.

I now understand
Please give me a chance to avenge!
Let her see the face she did kill
Then I swear to you, blood will spill.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I got this idea from a friend. They said do something about abortions, then that led me to finding a poem Unheard voices. With that I thought about, why not make a poem of murder? So this poem is really about this child dying but not quite understanding why. Then at the end the child comes to a realization that it was dying for no reason, so it wants to make a deal with the devil. This is so this child can come back in the same flesh and blood it had before and take the mother’s life only after guilt settles in her.
That kind of leads into the theme I was trying to go for, the cycle of abuse. Do unto you as you have done unto me.
