Someday you'll learn to love this

Did you ever truly listen?

Or care at all?

 

Was I just a pawn in your deadly game?

Even though you were the Queen in mine?

 

A Queen of torture and pain

Of sickness and disease

 

A delicate spring blossom is the scent of love

But yours had an undertone of putrid flesh

You skin was once soft as silk

And now it is but scales

On the back of your serpentine lullabies

 

Anguish and death is all that lies in your wake

A trail of suffering

 

I came all this way jsut to be shunned?

To be trampled under your heel?

 

Why must I love this mefistress of dark desires?

I believe the title is ironic. Here you are been hurt and it's like this 'mefistress of dark desires' is saying to you that you'll love it one day.
Great write!

More users and abusers then lovers and lifetime people. I tell people. Test the water. Look at their house. They got a book with 50 people pictures left behind. Best excuse yourself and run. I like this poem. Direct and honest words. Sometime need to ask the real and important questions. Are you going to stay or are you escaping at the crack of dawn. A excellent poem. Made me think this morning.

We've all been there my friend, and unfortunately it happens an awful lot at your age. Great write, and without saying too much you've somehow managed to put forth a story with so much feeling. I think everyone can relate to this in one way or another, I know I can.

Well I'm sure the girl you're talking about doens't realize how much pain she is putting you through. Just stay close to her, she may open her eyes one day..
Great poem and awesome imagery :) x

Wow very different from the other I just read. I like this one more though because it has more feeling behind it when I read it - I feel it.. I feel the anger and the hurt in this. The flow is perfect and I can tell it was probably what was on your mind.. you didn't have to think about your feelings really - just write them down. Very good!

Dark and intensifying. Loved it. Flowed really well and was well written :)

A very irreverent piece of writing, well done

[Jessica Marlow]

check your spelling. other than that this is a good piece of writing it explanes how much we love someone but yet they break our hearts and we suffer for it.

Such wonderful use of imagery.. a raw emotional poem that speaks to me on a personal level. Beautifully written!
