Are You Proud of Yourself?

by XxGlambertfanxX

This is another poem. I put it here because I didn't know where else to put it. It isn't really 'suggestive', but is a bit sadistic/depressing, so rated "T" just to be safe. I would be very grateful if you read and review it. I'm open to creative criticism, but no flames please.

Are you proud of yourself?

Look at her

Are you proud of yourself?

How many times will history repeat itself?

Does it make you feel masculine watching her suffer?

You beat her, insult her, tell her she's worthless

She doesn't even blame you

She blames herself

You keep coming back, apologizing with a sick smirk in your mind

Your words are meaningless

Are you proud of yourself?

You leave her broken, barely breathing, shattering her with one simple touch

She doesn't even hate you

She hates herself

You leave her bleeding, almost faded

You leave her for dead

Are you proud of yourself?

I have to hear her screams, her sobs over what you've done

You only see the physical pain she bears

I see the soul-shattering tears this beautiful fallen angel cries...

Are you proud of yourself?

You rip away her innocence, her tough outer shell

You tear off her wings and leave her there for Death to deal with, like garbage

But I am here for the angel

I help her to her feet, erase the thoughts of her being worthless

Thoughts that you crammed down her throat

I dry her tears and hold her until the tears subside

I wonder if you could believe no one would want her after what you made her out to be

Can you not see her beauty, which shines through even in her darkest hours?

Who will dry your tears and silence your screams?

Are you proud of yourself?

You will have no one

She will not come back this time

She will never again be yours

Now she is mine

When we hold hands and watch the life fade from your eyes, who will join you and pick you up off the ground?

Are you proud of yourself?

You are all alone in a strange, dangerous world

Are you proud of yourself?

I can't help but smile...
