Fragments Poem by Hazel Durham

Fragments

Rating: 4.1


My past is bleeding with hurt and hardship,
I'm like a slave to memories of wounds from the whip
Of cruel destiny, of harsh words from the lips,
Of my twisted enemies that drip
With vengeance that rips,
My soul into fragments of scars,
That scatter my emotions so far,
I'm away in a distant planet my feelings sit in the bar,
Drinking to find peace, numbness of a blank life,
No past, no pain just feeling insane,
On my way back i stumble and fall in a dark lane,
Home is too far away, too far away,
As fragments of my soul die each day,
Only you bring me back to life
To find my home in your caring eyes
As fragments are pieced together from the lies.

(cont.) punctuation? perhaps not as i would do it, trying (me) to stick to the rules i learned years ago, BUT i like your method of using commas; i had no trouble following your writing. Thanks. bri :)

SOMEONE'S past is certainly dark, but there is hope from MY EYES? ? ! ! ! good grief! i'm not sure i can handle the responsibility. i love the rhyming, a bit of alliteration, and the smooth flow of the lines into one another, and the 'story'. favorite line: Home is too far away, too far away, (cont.)
