Are the shattered pieces
Of solid, clear crystal
Broken by your bloody hands
Symbolic of my own heart

Twisting and turning,
Helplessly running
Into a straight black path
Holding onto whatever sanity
My mind can grasp

Running from you, my love
As you’ve turned your back on me
Once again
I can’t go back…
I refuse

And as bloody hands
Grasp my soul,
Crystal pieces puncture my skin
Collapsing into nothingness
No more breath

Treasure the power
With which you captivate
My soul;
I cannot escape
Is this love?

Deceive me into
Thinking this is love
For surely, I am brainwashed
By the world;
Because I need you

You, almost like some drug;
Addicting me;
I cannot live without you
My captor, my love,
My killer

Of Love and Murder

Topic: DarkPoetry

Scattered on the ground
Are the shattered pieces
Of solid, clear crystal
Broken by your bloody hands
Symbolic of my own heart

Twisting and turning,
Helplessly running
Into a straight black path
Holding onto whatever sanity
My mind can grasp

Running from you, my love
As you’ve turned your back on me
Once again
I can’t go back…
I refuse

And as bloody hands
Grasp my soul,
Crystal pieces puncture my skin
Collapsing into nothingness
No more breath

Treasure the power
With which you captivate
My soul;
I cannot escape
Is this love?

Deceive me into
Thinking this is love
For surely, I am brainwashed
By the world;
Because I need you

You, almost like some drug;
Addicting me;
I cannot live without you
My captor, my love,
My killer

Good dark write...I liked the use of the crystal heart...one can easily visualize the shattering.
Peace,
Laura

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
