I Am The Red Pill.She Is The Blue Pill

You look at me so strangely I wonder what you’re thinking
It’s as if I am the alcohol in the poison you’re drinking
With your eyes on my chest and your hands round my neck
My only wish at this moment is that you stop my breath

I know whom your heart belongs to a hore in a pretty dress
And you think that her love will destroy the sins you cant confess
But you are still tempted every time by my mystery
A strange concept that would only ever work for me

I am the red pill showing you the wonders of the darkness
For it is for the individual if eternal night is eternal bliss
She is the blue pill that will keep you trapped here
Under a state of control and drenched in the feeling of fear
Whichever one you choose will be your lifetime destiny
But I warn you there is no turning back with me

If you look into my eyes again you will see the red I mean
But you could decide otherwise and wonder if I was a dream
As you see me dance in the moonlight you question reality
But really all your questioning is what is the worth of me

Still she comes to you looking so pure on the outside
While the blue just makes her heart cold on the inside
Her fingertips look like those of a corpse that’s been beautified
All those around her trying to make her seem alive

I am the red pill showing you the wonders of the darkness
For it is for the individual if eternal night is eternal bliss
She is the blue pill that will keep you trapped here
Under a state of control and drenched in the feeling of fear
Whichever one you choose will be your lifetime destiny
But I warn you there is no turning back with me

With both pills in your hand what will you devour
The pill as strong as death or the one as delicate as a flower
One will free you and one will send you home
But if you take the blue pill the truth can never be known

I am the red pill showing you the wonders of the darkness
For it is for the individual if eternal night is eternal bliss
She is the blue pill that will keep you trapped here
Under a state of control and drenched in the feeling of fear
Whichever one you choose will be your lifetime destiny
But I warn you there is no turning back with me

    I really liked this poem. The flow, the idea, the rhyming scheme...everything was very well executed. Your word choice was great and the whole thing was really just a wonderful package. Great job.

    I like your theme with the red pill & blue pill.. That's very cool! I love your rhyming scheme.. I could see this being a great goth rock song!

    A very original and interesting metaphorical comparison you have concocted here, with your red and blue pills. Best of luck in the contest with this excellent poem.

    Interesting take on from the pills to the choice of girl. Fresh, i enjoyed it "Her fingertips look like those of a corpse that’s been beautified
    All those around her trying to make her seem alive"

    I think those lines were magnificent, beautiful. For me, they made the entire poem.

    The flow could possibally benefit from a few commas, but all in all it was a well written peice, thanks for entering.

    Hmm... it's good but not really what i was looking for. I'm not really sure what kind of music to put to it. Good write though.

    Alright, I hate this. There's no good reason for you not to correct those mistakes. You're just being an ass. So I'm taking you out of the contest. I didn't really like the piece much anyway. Best of luck with your writing.

    I'm just going to point out a few grammatical errors.

    L5 - You misspelled 'whore'
    L6 - There should be an apostrophe in "can't"
