You

You are a monster,

tailored perfectly for me.

You exist solely for my destruction.

You torment me with your lies

and distorted philosophies.

You feed me with your thoughts.

You poison me with your curses,

polluting my mind with your shade of evil.

 

You are my ultimate definition of hell

and you hold me captive in your abyss.

You refuse to free me from your grasp

for I am your favorite prisoner.

You delight in my vulnerability,

my faint resolutions,

my vain attempts to escape.

 

You applaud my falls,

taking every error

as a chance to condemn me.

You laugh at my virtues

and you question my beliefs.

You take pleasure in my cries of agony;

my screams are music to your ears.

 

You wipe away every memory of bliss,

draining me of life,

emptying me of myself.

You strip me off of my heart

in your desire to make me be like you.

You are my monster, my enemy.

I am you and you are me.

Thank you, Ency! Glad you liked this. ;)

I loved the first line, that was brilliantly said. I'm blown away at the pictures that you find that always seem so perfectly matched with your poems. It is a beautifully introspective look into the dark side of one's self. Very dark, but very good --- It reminded me of some of the Psalms of David, those when he was in the depths of depression and had to express it.

I do hope that there are days of joy and light in your life -- I fear your Muse may have you handcuffed to a chair somewhere and is forcing you to produce these wonderful, but dark, poems. As good as they are, I hope some happiness will fill or at least be hinted at in some of your work. Your poems are always a great joy to read.

Finding appropriate pictures for my poems always take a great deal of time. I'm just so lucky that whenever I scan Google images, one of them screams to me something like, "I'm the one! I'm the one!" :)

I'm surprised you noticed that "something" in my pieces, and thank you very much for expressing your concern. I actually had written a draft about a poem entitled "Bring Me Happiness". It's like an ode to my muse, wishing to give me a ray of sunshine that I might be able to write a poem reflecting happiness.

Thanks as always. Your reviews are appreciated! ;)
