Shattered Mirage

By poe_lover28

be my soul
be my sword
make me whole
be my world

be my shadow
be my sheild
be the dove, to my crow
a forbidden letter, forever sealed

be the high to my low
be my prince, upon which my heart i bestow
take my heart, and my grace
the only one, to make my heart race

so be my one, be my only
or forever ill be lonely
for i know, together we are meant
from god to I, you were sent

in sickness and in health
in poverty and in wealth
shall you be mine?
our souls bound in vine?

but you were only a mirage
just a collage
of something
i call nothing

a figment of my imagination
i peer at my body, scars of past lacerations
just one more, couldnt hurt
i may even enjoy the show of blood to spurt

i grab my knife
ready to end this excuse of a life
i dig the blade, into my skin
and the sinful show slowly begins

the crimson river begins to flow
im begging this earth to let me go
and finally the world dims
i must hurry, i have an appointment
with Mr. Grim

A former member wrote: A mirage of someone special...yeah, I'm afraid I can relate. Although, it does make for exceptional poetry.
A former member wrote: Well I hear the Reaper is the greatest master of seduction that there is. Marvelous twist, much enjoyed.

I guess everyone wants that balance in life & to feel complete with a trusty companion. Reality & lonliness can be somewhat depressing. Love the fleshy, darkened twist. Nice write, dear!

You definitely have a list of things to marvel at, with a few awkward lines here and there, but you'll get better on the next one so keep at it and much enjoyed, thanks!
A former member wrote: Impressive. I like the twist it took and I hope you're okay.
A former member wrote: Great work, there is a lot of emotion! I like how the last line has significantly less syllables then the others, it makes it stand out and gets you thinking about the poem!
