Even as you are strung above
Unable to fathom my intentions
I continue to envy you
Envy your ability to know emotions
To understand what they are
To feel hate, love, sorrow, grief
Something I could never do
Fear gleaming from your eyes
Do you not understand
Can you not comprehend
I, too, must feel emotion
I must know what it is to feel
I only know hunger and thirst
Only death and torment satisfy
In your death I will know joy
As your blood leisurely pours
I will come to know ecstasy
You will have peace through me
No longer will you suffer
Your pains will become my pleasure
Your sorrow will be my delight
The first slit on your chest
Pure, unadulterated bliss
As I begin tearing apart your flesh
I now understand what joy is
Your screams such sweet music
My knife the instrument
Alas, emotion envelopes my soul
This is the rush I desire
To watch your fleeting soul
Your heart beating slowly
Like that of an instrument
Unable to keep in tempo
The fear escaping your eyes
Only a prayer for release
Your blood, so sweet and warm
I can taste it on my lips
Such a rush of emotions
Joy, Ecstasy, Pleasure, Delight
Saturated with your blood
Your heart has stopped beating
Again, I stand emotionless

Thank you for the critque on my poem "Emotionless". I have since renamed it to "Emotional Abyss". Let me know if it is "out side of the box" enough. Thank you for your time.
