Fingertips of ice
Lay in my blood red hands
Your eyes show more than just pain
The things I've said and done
Through silent words and actions
I did them all for you
Please, hold me away from these innocent bodies
"It was worth it."
So turn off your crying eyes
Sweet Darlin', have I proved it to you now?
The final sacrifice
To show you just what you mean
A kiss from you
My lips too numb to know
That It'd be my last
Sweet Darlin'
Did it help you understand?
The true meaning of anything?
Hold me tighter. My last words need close ears
"I'll be guiding you."
Now I lay. Another casualty.
"No, I won't be watched."
"By knife, I will see you."
"Death shall not part us."

Oh. This is kind of a sad little poem that you have going on here.
You know what it makes me think of? Romeo and Juliet and all the passion and sorrow that surrounded thier life and thier love. Lestways, that's what it sounded like to me. I thought you did a good job of expressing yourself.

Intriging piece
almost reads like the end of a novel where he confesses on his/hers deathbed. I can say this it took a great ability to come up with this fine piece
-
It keeps the readers attention the whole way through and keeps them guessing ^^ It's a really decent poem =)
-

Wow. Very, very good. I love this so much. Thank you for entering.

Welcome to AllPoetry
I like this too. It's not the kind of poetry I usually read but it's very good. I enjoy how it's so intense and so vague... I mean, there is undeniably a whole lot of various emotion here, and yet the meaning per se is up to interpretation. Love it. Simple words, but such a deep meaning. Keep writing.

Just wow. This is a really great poem.
I understand what you said in this poem,
It made me a breatheless. It was intense especially in the end.
Great job. I love this poem, like my friend below i'm not sure why either.
Excellent!
I also hope to see more from you.

I'm speechless. I liked this, a lot.
And yet I can't place my finger on exactly why...
Very nicely done.
I hope to see more from you.
