Seductive Pain

By Damon Tarloth

Writing this down I go from anger to rage,
reliving each moment as words hit the page.
My fury lashes out from memories long dead,
the crimson runs down and the hatred spreads...

Her alluring smile exudes total control,
shrouded in darkness with a hypnotic pull.
Make no mistake she is a 100 percent pure,
an evil sickness and there is no cure...

I welcomed the hurt, the sorrow, and pain,
her irrational mood swings driving me insane.
The intense passion coupled with a bitter bite,
every fight forgiven by the end of the night...

Anything to please her regardless of the price,
it's never good enough to warm a heart of ice.
Once you are touched by her seductive death,
your fate is set until your final breath...

Even if you happen to break away,
you have been marked until your very last day.
This tainted love is all that you will ever crave,
darkness is the master and you are the slave...

This can open up your own flaws and amplify them, which has happened to me many times. This writing hits me hard like a bag of bricks, so real, so vicious, like an internal bleeding. I really dig this, it's close to home.

Hurt so good and maybe someday I'll sally forth and dabble in something beyond "the missionary". Kidding DT - this was great and the reader can feel the enticement, well done!

Thank you for your kind words. The results were announced and I got 3rd place :( FLOW/METER- Flawless. IMAGERY- Strong. RHYME-Perfect except 1 error. The words "Control and Pull" are a close rhyme, but not a rhyme. "Her alluring smile exudes total control, shrouded in darkness with a hypnotic pull." When I say the words "Pole, Pull, and Poll" I pronounce them all the same, but I am wrong. So Control rhymes with pole,poll, and roll, but not with bull. As bull rhymes with pull, full, but not with pole, soul, or toll. That error cost me 1st place :(
