I Will Never Rest In Peace Poem by Dawn Lochridge

I will never rest in peace:
Don't visit me to cut my heart with your sharp tongue!
There is more to me than the beauty and looks you claim I have.
I'm fighting as I grow older.
Your sharp tongue has cut me from the first time we met, don't you see that I care?
Probably not, I have been a woman no one could, love to or seem to understood.
I don't know why I can't be loved!
I've tried to love and make you feel that I am made from your rib.
How can you be so hateful to the one that will be there when no one else will.
Wait-
Im not trying to make you feel bad.
I know I'm hateful, mean-and will challenge you to a duel..however I can promise I will win!
I've been hurt and left more times than once.
Just to hurt back justout of-spite.
when I do love - I love hard.
I've been punished, bruised, and thrown through the air! Kicked, verbally and mentally abused. NEVER WAS I BROKE!
I'LL NEVER BE BROKE!
I'll die first, only!I'll come back for one last try to make you feel the compassion, love and the beating of my caring heart.
You'll just have to see it when I'm gone.
When you don't have me anymore!
I just died and you don't even care I promise you'll cry to my grave - only the tears from your eyes go unheard foreternity.
I'm gone for good, The woman that was made for you, from your rib.
You have been so deaf to the heart that is broken and scared yet still cares deeply through eternity for you,
Cry to my grave knowingly you can still hurt me with your words after I am gone.
The only protection I-can provide, will be to watch out for you from the other side.
Please my love treasure this lullaby.
I have the same talent and I'm not a stranger to the feeling of regretful words.
AsI'vestepped over the boundaries an hurt many myself.
I've been there, Now I'm gone out of your reach and can't make it right from my grave.
I want you to think of me as you go through the worldwith each and every night you fall a sleep;I'm the one that was meant to be for you.
Promised youI would always be true, still loving you.
I have eternity to watch you.
I know in my heart we were meant for each other, not two can be so alike.
Night after night I will protect you, keep you, and our commitment we made to one another when I was visible to you, right there so you could touch.
I will watch over you from above, for I have loved you since we met.
Keep your flowers and your tears for they no longer matter I cannot feel.
Your pain, "only you my love " can feel, you are why I'm gone.
It was all your anger and torture that put me here.
I forgive you my love, now learn how to forgive yourself..
