Faceless man,
Fingers running all over me,
Throws of empty passion,
Deep uneven breaths,
First there's the light of Ecstasy,
Then the darkness of what I've done.
I walk alone,
From the hotel to my home,
Then a hand grabs mine,
And it's my other.
The look on my face says it all,
He falls,
And trips again,
As he runs from me screaming.
My black heart breaks into shards,
My makeup runs
So do my stockings.
Days turn to weeks,
No calls,
No letters,
No words.
Then you appear with a sad puppy face,
I'm disgraced,
Why?
Is all you can say,
I thought I didn't love you anymore,
And that was the truth.
For once between us there was
utter, raw, real truth.
New beginnings,
Familiar fingers running over me,
Throws of real passion,
Deep sensual breaths,
And the light of ecstasy,
From the one I love.

Good
I really enjoyed reading this piece.
It was great... very descriptive and full of imagery. You expressed the emotion with such passion. I like when you said..
"As he runs from me screaming."
It's as if you were a monster, but I'm sure he kinda felt like that... mine did
This poem was very emotional, and the form and flow simply enhanced the beauty.
I'm glad you entered my comtest... thanks a lot!
Best wishes!
