Closure
Hate would be too weak a word
Repulsed, disgusted, despised
Repugnant face, demented and revolting
A wake of darkness follows
Skin crawls, hair stands, nauseous
Steel tongue weighed with unsaid words
Claws ready, teeth exposed
Eyes fixed, monster ready
He mumbles words strung together
Fragile attempts to erase the past
Impenetratable fortress, my heart
Dull meaningless words fall
Daggers fly, thrown from eyes
Longing to tear deep
Sharp words lodged fast
Forced to remain still
Air thick and heavy
Apology left floating
Stinging piercing silence
Wedge driven deeper
Sweet separation, exquisite release
Never to meet again
Repulsed, disgusted, despised
Repugnant face, demented and revolting
A wake of darkness follows
Skin crawls, hair stands, nauseous
Steel tongue weighed with unsaid words
Claws ready, teeth exposed
Eyes fixed, monster ready
He mumbles words strung together
Fragile attempts to erase the past
Impenetratable fortress, my heart
Dull meaningless words fall
Daggers fly, thrown from eyes
Longing to tear deep
Sharp words lodged fast
Forced to remain still
Air thick and heavy
Apology left floating
Stinging piercing silence
Wedge driven deeper
Sweet separation, exquisite release
Never to meet again

I liked this poem for its theme. I though that the title was perfect for the message of the poem.
The line that struck me most of "Dagger's fly, throwns from eyes" I know that look and I thought the wording was so compacted, like the way I feel when someone throws me daggers.
The ending also fits the over feel of the poem, on of longing for closure and then finally getting it. A sweet release.
Interesting use of couplets.
