Noble mazochism

By estherbell

First, I will scratch the cuts
you have left on me
till they won't stop bleeding,
so that the scars remind me forever.

Of what was NOT.

Then, I will wait till they run dry
and soak my body in bleach,
so that you can marvel at my luminous
snow white skin,my noble

Blood-lessness.

Finally, I will cut three pale limbs off
and drag my pure clean torso to your garden
so that I can dig the soil with my last
breath,in a hope to find you rotten there,

My stillborn love.

    Brilliant. 'of what was not...' I know the feeling of 'stillborn love'. At least you've still got your words!

    Vivid imagery, for sure. Scarey stuff, in the symbolism. Anyway, this was great. Write on, and by the way, welcome to darkpoetry.
