The Allurement Of The Knife

by Simple Sensation   Feb 17, 2007


Heart beats
Lips quiver
She then lets the tear appear.

Knife in hand,
She slashes.
And red is drawn

The smell:
Allures her

The red:
Enchants her

The pain:
Becomes her

Her knife:
Comforts her,
Helps her deal with the pain...

She is a "cutter"
Screaming for help,
And punishing herself.

Contemplating Suicide

    A different type of poem from most that I've read but it still has a powerful emotion; and overall it's a great write. 5/5.

    I wrote a new poem with more punctuation. See if it improves my writing. I love the input.

    It was a different format to most cutting poems, I like the simplicity because it portrays it so blatently obvious.
    Hmm I think you could do a bit more on the creative vocabulary front..."red" is an example....
    Also tears and heart beat are rather over used ideas....
    The beat and sound of "tears appear" though was quite good.
    The three middle couplets were my favourite part of the poem. Subtle yet effective.
    Maybe a cliche subject, but I've read much much worse. It was actually a good read.
