Decay

This fear is painting my mind black.
All is lost when storm-clouds are no longer welcome.
A hidden fire singes my watering eyes,
And I feel a threatened pounding under aching lungs.

I could be hidden in my own ashes,
But I refuse to rise.
I could have developing wings,
but I will break every bone, muscle, and tendon.

I will sever every vessel.
I will dissect every ounce of hope that lies buried,
Pleading underneath my skin.

I will break myself slowly
and watch myself decay

All because of your lies.

And oh, God...
I will never stop.

I loved him. Love-- wasted after three years. He was oblivious. He was obsessed with something he could never have. He was full of lust. And he hurt everyone.

And he didn't even care.

He disgusts me now.
Do I hate him?

I might as well.

Will I forgive him?
He'll be the first whom I haven't.

Do I still love him?
It's like pouring liquid gold down a dirty drain.

Yes. I do.
I'll keep on pouring out my love for him.
And he'll never keep it.

    Awh, this is so deep. I feel this way sometimes. I've had no hope before and it kills you on the inside. I have to agree with the color. Thanks for entering and good luck.

    Very good write, which flows well and tells an effective story.

    I must mention your choice of colour though, as it's a real difficulty to read without highlighting the text which is a bit frustrating.

    Good job overall though.

    Thanks for entering and good luck in my contest.

    Amazing. I absolutely love it. It may be my situation that I'm currently in that causes my judgement to be a little bias but I do like this poem. Good job and good luck.

    Wow. It's very discriptive, extremely melochonic. ''A hidden fear singes my watering eyes'' It's amazing.
    You're on the finalists list.
    Thank you for entering and good luck in the contest!
