No longer can you tell the time you've been here,
And you have long-since ceased to object.
Slump in a corner,
Oppose a locked door,
And let the sun shine down on the stone slabs of your prison.
Company tells you you have not been here,
For long enough to see it starve.
Company;
A solitary fly buzzes about your head,
Drawn to your hot sweaty skin.
Do you lack the strength to bat it away?
Or just the will to fight?
Surrender to seduction,
Sweet poisons I can offer,
To end the pain I know you feel.
Shake your head
With the last of your strength,
And feel it crawl upon your skin;
Your last companion.
Survival of the fittest.
Why hold on?
Either succomb to me or to the stronger species?
You know it's too late,
So just say the line,
As the monster burrows deeper into your flesh.
I can still save you,
Bathe you,
I crave you,
Just say that you are mine.
Feel it channel its way through your veins,
Feasting on your life.
Blood streams from a tiny incision made by a desperate creature,
And it leaves its mark.
Cry out now,
And I won't save you.
I wanted your body as mine.
I wanted you pure and unaltered,
I wanted you
Before you were entered.
Feel them grow inside of you,
Larvae of a mother who
Gorged herself to death,
And feel them live off your body.
Sit in your sunlit grave and cry,
And monsters eat you from the inside.

This is a well written piece, except that there is no gory imagery whatsoever in the write. For this contest, it lost my attention, because of my disappointment in the lack of gory images.
It is a wonderful piece, just entered into the wrong contest... -
wow...this was a moving piece. truthfully i got a little lost as to what it was about. i think it's about a body buried and decaying, but i'm not sure. i like the flow of it and i absolutely love the last stanza. it's so simple, but powerful. this was a wonderful poem. good job!

Erm... Actually, to be honest, it isn't quite like that. i think explaining it though would ruin the poem, so send me a message if you really wanna know, and I'll reply to that. k?

Great
This is so honest and so appealing! I really enjoyed reading this! I love the lines:
"Surrender to seduction,
Sweet poisons I can offer,
To end the pain I know you feel"
Just beautiful! -
