Scream, fool, scream.
No one can save you.
You are mine to control.
No one can hear you.

Run, fool, run.
There's no where you can hide.
I will hunt you down.
My forces shall never subside.

You. will. die.
You can not possibly survive.
I will find you.
I'll have you dead or alive.

Do. I. bother.
To say this to you?
That's because there is no hope.
There is nothing left for you.

No. hope. left.
You are such a fool.
You have nothing that I need.

Is the comma use intentional? It works for "run, fool, run", and, "scream, fool, scream", but it's a little bit awkward in other places.

For instance, "No, hope, left" Perhaps you were going for a pause between each word.
A comma is for a very brief pause, the semicolon (on a very basic level) a longer pause, and a period is a stop (obviously).
What I'm assuming you were trying do is this:

No. Hope. Left.

See, the comma is too brief of a pause to work, but the period makes the reader clear to the intention of the tone.
I suppose you could use ellipses; however, ellipses are usually used to denote a break in thought or speech due to hesitation or confusion.

If the commas were intentional, disregard the above.

Keep Writing.

Always, Abraham

Never be bothered about what you write, it is yours.
I liked this. Good work.

i can understand were IL is coming from in his comment. i dont like the commas and prefer ellipses, hyphens, and periods myself...but i also think that the commas you used give your poem some structure. in poetry, theres always the debate of structure vs not structured...punctuation vs emotion. grammar vs rawness. so depending on what youre going for, the commas either work for it or against it. i do think this poem could work very well for a metal song though.
