The Expense It Takes To Retrieve That Which Was Lost Poem by Amanda Saveley

I can't let go.
Of anything, really.
Pain, hate, anger...
It's all integrated in my skin
Become part of who I am
A section of my brain
Sealed off for just those things
I will always scream inside my mind
Silent piercing constantly rocking my soul in the darkness
I will always loathe to the point of obsession
Hatred will always consume my life,
Slowly ebbing away at the person I used to be
To mutate me into that which I have become
The thing fueled only by the anger that rages on
Becoming the only thing that keeps me in motion
I will avenge your loss someday
I will defeat those who have opposed me
Separated me from what was once my happy life
Oh happy life...
Beloved existance...
I will retrieve you again

But at what cost?
