Stalk me in denial forever
Leaving sweet lyrics inside
Pieces of broken glass.
A black marker is as permanent
As monogamy.
So I gladly slit my wrist and watch
As you orgasm to my stupidity.
Using my blood to paint your lips
As the ink infects my judgment, all
The while I'm eager to please.
My happiness-
As real as a perfect childhood
With scars fabricated for sympathy.
I am only here for you
Bleeding out impurities
Giving God the finger
As my sick heart coughs up your hair.
I die before you tonight
As I have in nights before,
And nights to come.
You never once forced me to open up
But somehow, you always seem to get in.
Maybe my trust issues give way
To lust of love.
Certainly not sex, such an easy little pet
To capture.
Only manipulation whips me in a manner
That leaves me hanging on for my life
With one arm.
You knew I was an idiot…
Yet you waved anyway.

but I survive on it, and it leaves me."

Well written work of poetry! Emotional to read and at times hard to digest. THANKS for sharing your work with us.

Gorgeous...
A mind-blowing piece.....

this is a well written poem, but I feel that there should be more hate than love and more gore. but that is just my opinion.
Unfortunately everyone has their own taste, and mine is to make me cringe. But, there were parts in your write that made me grit my teeth, so you are defintiely on your way to a gruesome piece...

oh.....
wow, this is awesome. Very well written. I like how you phrased a lot of the lines; mixing violence/brutality with emotional pain.

This made me feel crazy and sick. It is pretty scary. I hope your really not that imbalanced, but if you are then I feel for you. I think your the type of poet that gets famous no? Very passionate write, almost sadistically so. I'm not sure I like to look into it too deeply, you know?
Great job writing it though.

This is such an interesting piece....with some obscure, original different kind of imagery, the wording isn't quite "beaitful" but sickly at points, it is very captivating...liked this, thanks for the entry.

I really really like your first few opening lines. especially
"So I gladly slit my wrist and watch
As you orgasm to my stupidity.
Using my blood to paint your lips
As the ink infects my judgment"
They are so vivid and amazing. I love this poem. Every word of it. Simply mesmerizing.

This was beautiful. Your wordings and descriptions were so elegant and creative. The emotion was also particularly strong. It's pieces like this that make poetry into an art. Excellent job, keep it up!
