I love the metaphors of lies cutting like a knife and leaving scars, because they do. And your use of the age old saying "talk is cheap" fits well with the analogy. Because someone who is ok lying to (and hurting) you cheapens the value of their words, and the apology is worthless.

A lot of people are going to relate to this, and the fact that it is well written and rhymed throughout is a plus in my book. You killed it.

Miss Kitty
A powerful rhyming piece from you, really said and written well, albeit a darkness.
Much love

Wow beautifully written, painful poem that really got to me x

Kitty, This pain, these lies you have been through I have no clue where it will lead you in life, we all hope for the best to come your way. But it's good to know that you found a good way to express yourself through poems.

This poem travels to some dark places. It is indicated that the person descibed in the poem is in someway victimized. In one read of it, the lines "damage you caused within" and "hallmarks of my shame" Seem to put a deep focus on mental abuse. Damage was done to this person that goes beyond the surface level, and cuts deep.

I enjoyed the way this poem read out. Nice work!
