Stunning with angelic wings
Carrying evil tortuous things
A mirage as shelter from the storm
Cold as ice to keep me warm
Magical with mystical conclusions
Pulling the strings creating illusions
A hero masquerading for all to see
A thief cunning for the best of me
God-like reciting all to hear
Immoral as Judas cutting off my ear
Your ivory lace turned to black
Devilish grin stabbing me in the back
Our mother witnessing begins to weep
For conceiving both wolf and sheep

Wow again.
I thought your poem was amazing. I had to read it a few times.
Your experience is a good example of fact is stranger than fiction. That must have been an extremely traumatizing experience. I commend you for choosing a positive outlook on life.

Thank you so much! I started it about 10 years ago and just finished it. It was a difficult one for me. The words came instantly but the meaning behind it….well, it was exhausting. I’m so glad you liked it. That makes me smile :b

So wonderfully constructed and conveyed, Carisa. I think that this one pretty much sums it all up, especially the last two lines.
