Breathe. Forget. Breathe. Forget.

Breathe.

the hunger clawing my desire up her neck
down my stomach and legs flesh to flesh
enjoying flesh ignoring guilt and
ready to dive into flesh
sin again again no end

Breathe.

red lights in my eyes and i cry scream cry father
told me it would happen again if i was bad
he loves me so that he loves to
ignore my woe and pain to
teach me to be a man

Breathe.

bullets whizzing like missiles people dropping
like the sand surrounding we're
drowning in our own blood
that's pounding with
adrenalin

Breathe.

my head down walking aimless place-less being
nowhere no-one no-time no-love no-heart
no-song no-give no-gift no-smile
no-frown no-opinion along
with no-life

Breathe.

forget

Breathe.

forget

Breathe.

    nice usage of characters...i loved each stanza...beautifully described imagery...
    loved these lines particularly

    my head down walking aimless place-less being
    nowhere no-one no-time no-love no-heart
    no-song no-give no-gift no-smile
    no-frown no-opinion along
    with no-life

    it's exactly what i am going through...maybe thats why...

    good luck

    okay, the author's notes definatly helped explain it- i might have gotten it without that hint, but maybe not
    it's a good poem though
    thank you for entering!
