Falling

By Intoxicating Delirium

The way your lips moved 
Such a vivid memory
Like a cauterized scar
Your piercing gaze, exemplary

Gasping for air, suffocating
Under a blanket of words
Relentlessly smothering
My vision, blurred

The endless feeling of falling
Never ending falling
The room spinning 
My skin crawling

Bile rising in my throat 
If there were words to find
They would be vomit
Spewing from my lips, undefined 

There's a movie playing
Before my eyes
I remember every detail
Of the scene which I despise

Your inescapable depravity 
Has left me open
Heart ripped from my chest 
Now an empty cavity

Picked dry from vultures 
Watch as they tear apart 
Hungry for the last piece 
Of my rotting heart

    wow, or yay! its been awhile since you posted and you did a great job with this one. I think everybody wants a piece of some part of our lives, to be in it, to confuse, to irritate, to make us unhappy and some just take whats left and spit us out. its a frustrated poem it sounds like, and I can feel that. excellent poem Caitlin and keep writing your very good at it, hope to see more of you. awesome!

    A most cogent and forceful write, that spirals down from some past tense. A heart both forlorn and forsaken . I dare say it is beautifully received. Much like the concerto of a sad violin.
