dark.

By Exodus




Watch me unfold, very unconsciously.
As I crumble in the palm of your ridiculed hands.
I am vaporized and murdered into tiny one second frames
Of a life that I am, not sure of what im doing.
Not anymore.

You undressed me and secluded me.
All I am is what you’ve made me become.

But my eyes caught it, the glimpse of sex, danger, perfection.
And I remembered what it was like again to still have power.
I miss my power.

I want out of this, I want in.
I want in.

Is it right? Is it so terrible that I make you love me?

So.

Peel these wounds off the dried examined table,
If they don’t exist to you they don’t hurt and they aren’t real.

I will fight if you yell at me I will shake if you try to leave.


And I will bleed, with or without you.


You dispel my hatred and you’ve spun me in this love
So intricate I cant move, I cant get out.

But I know, I am sure of it.



As I crumble in the palm of your ridiculed hands
I am murdered and shattered into fragments of hell and stars.


We don’t fall apart when the wall tears down or the ocean swallows wide.



And I will bleed, with or

without you.

    Powerful. It expressed the yearning of the human soul. Capturing that moment that sometimes we let slip away...You are one of the reasons I decided to join this site. Your poetry is so magnificent and personal. I will feel this for days.

    The third line is genius - I'm impressed about the extent to which you realize the threat quantifying things holds. Sometimes... it's fun to get stuck in the spiderweb.
