“The Abuser” A Poem by John J. Rigo

The words were hammered blows to my heart.

A stranger would dare not speak such words to me

crushing fists would they find

quickly pounding their bodies.

The slap of the glove upon their face

to face certain death on the field of honor.

 

The answer to your acts are simple enough

you are an abuser.

Your love of God and Jesus

but a front

a lie to all.

 

Deep within your heart lies hate

pouring on one who has loved you

beyond all others.

A faithful friend

you no longer are to me.

 

I have seen your soul.

It is dark

black 

ridden with the shit of the world

upon your lips.

 

Oh where

oh where

did my love go.

 

You are without honor

heroism

or truth

in your declared love.
