Desire

Misconception,
Deception,
and Infection.

You crawl on your knees,
and you slither
through the Cracks.

And all I remember is your warmth.

But the faded pictures tell the truth
and I know you are false.
To show love and give oneself to the devil
still to desire more.

And all I remember is your touch.

And the knives that struck flesh
that aided the blood.
They flowed like fiery venom into my heart
and still burn.

And all I remember is your flesh.

The taste.
The sweat.
The blood.

I desire the salt and the poison.
And I can't let it go.

I really like this poem. Everyone can relate to that kind of pain, especially anyone who has ever been in a relationship. Good job.

WOW. I know this feeling. Scribe was right -- love hurts, and that lets you know you're feeling . . . It's all deciding who is worth letting hurt you!

Wow, thank you . . .
