The Scream

Ah, for the love of the woman
I know vowed to another,
I lurk behind shadows
for just a glimpse
of her soft, supple, shoulders.
Lost across oceans of others,
yet, the only one I do see,
tender as a snoflake
lost in a snow covered field,
untouched,
yet touched,
melting beneath matchtip fingers,
promises filling my abyss,
lips moistening my kiss *inhale*...
The thought of his hands...NO!!!!!
The flames burning, burning,
and they burn ever brighter,
thirsting for my heart's blood,
knowing
I,
so ignorant a fool,
I,
so lost in your treacherous emptiness,
I,
so taken and ever so blind a fool,
would spill life into their firey sunset,
they,
sucking my light up, up and away,
they,
drying me of all that I am,
they,
leaving me to see nothing,
nothing but despair,
raining down their bloody mockery
until I have nothing,
until I am nothing.
Anguish rises from my bowels,
slicing, contorting, distorting my face.
A shadow, cast from shadows.
Forever.
Screaming.

    I agree with my sis. This is powerful. Good one!
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!
  • I appreciate the comments, thanks twins! :)

    I thought this was going to be a waste of a line - going the way of a cliche -

    I like where you went a lot - nicely done

    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key
