Your constant barrage of hateful taunts turned my once loving heart to stone. My confusion and guilt be damned. If you were burning, I wouldn’t piss on you to put out the fire.

Ha! Excellent! :)
as always I am amazed at your style!
Absolutely vitriolic. And spoken like someone who pees standing up. lol
What a powerful punch to these words!
Oh again you say what we all might want to.. Even if we didn’t know how to articulate it.
This was stunning.
I love your writing. And your photos.
Exemplary!Loved the forcefulness & the hardly controlled aggression (so justified)in here!I can see your piece up there at the top Tara:-)
Nice job of showing the intense anger!
Very well said! Powerful words.
Wow! I love it.
Woah someone doesn’t like someone very much it seems. Way to go with the prompt!
Now that was said with feeling!
Great take on the prompt.
Wow, so you know my ex-husband!! (Sorry, Tara, couldn’t resist.)
Straightforward dis, I can almost see him cringing. GREAT write, hon! Amy

Powerful emotions in this. “My confusion and guilt be damned” – perfect! I know this isn’t supposed to be funny but the refusing to piss on the fire kinda cracked me up. Yeah, I’m not right!
Pissing on a fire produces horrible aroma. Especially if the burning human is a meat eater. If you break this promise, make sure I am not there.
Such strong feelings. I could feel the disgust, disappointment and the turned corner of a bad relationship. Loved this Tara and the spitfire ending!
“…My confusion and guilt be damned.”
I love this! There is a lot of power in these thoughts and words, and I’m always glad when a victim says enough is enough-plus, the imagery is brutally fitting!
Powerful anger… well written.
strooooooonnnggggg. The tone of voice is one thing but the economy of words makes this last in my memory.
Wow – such vehemence! In a way, the piece itself is the opposite of stone: very volatile. Nicely done!
I love the heat in this! I love that you have so many different styles of writing. You accomplish each one of the styles beautifully.
