Anguish of Love

I drink acid spit from your pouting lips…
I can’t avoid the dark much needed pain,
I eat it up… enjoy me as your slut.
But still, Lady Macbeth this stain remains…

Angel blood turned blackish; silence drips…
Into my cup, hurry up! Not enough.
I wind this chaos box and watch it stop.
My heart on top a salty chopping block…

I can’t live unless alone do I burn…
I Don’t move, I fight against the Earth’s turns.
Enchanted, drunk with love, no more concerns,
I just wish, desperate for one more kiss…

Broke my diamond teeth on your sulfur neck…
Such a bitter-sweet pain that I will miss.
People ask, condescending, when I’ll learn,
Despite their words, for more of you I yearn…

Yearn to learn, no concerns; I turn and burn…
This soul I have, has swollen to a rock.
I’d walk across a lake of twitching clocks,
To smell the scent of your amber star dust…

Get a hold of this? I can’t get a grip…
Torment of my brain making me feel plain.
I thought that this was love- you call it lust?
Such indifference makes me go insane…

I drank you in, I swallowed our eclipse.

I tried to read it, but it's too late and words like, "acid," "blood" and "pain" are too much for me at the moment. Listening to "Darkness" by Disturbed does not help...just reminds me, "Deny everything. Slowly walk away to breathe again...I need your strength to get me through this."

Promise to read it another day...

Wow... you use metaphors very well.. This is so very well written..but I imagine because it is true...a bleeding heart willing to go thru anything to recieve the same....but turned to see..just a word thats nothing for thee....lust...a simple word..that describes unending love you felt..how awkward..and hurtful..written so well...I would clap..but you could not be able to hear it.....*smiles* But my heart hears your meaning..in every word you write..and I am sure..once spoken, as well.

Interesting and dark. Is it love or lust? I don't see either.
