The Autopsy

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Jun 2, 2007


This is about giving yourself up to something you don't want, thinking it's what you deserve.
``````````````````````````````````````````````
Press the all ready bloody scissors deep into your skin; you know you enjoy it,
Dig your fingernails into her skin and pray he likes the mutilation you put him through;
You know you're in love when you can help him dance through his obsessions,
You know you're in love when you can help him go through the mistakes that are over due.

He tried to save you once, but you refused; you'd rather get what you think you deserve,
But there's so much more to this life of yours that you have yet to discover.
So press the all ready bloody scissors deep into your kidneys; you enjoy that thrill,
Gasp out and grab his arms; you want him to hold you, but he's not your lover.

You make your mistakes, and you know they're wrong, yet still you follow through;
You can dance a masquerade with the dead; he'll no longer help you when you fall.
You used to be so pretty, well, you could be, but now your not even worth the time.
Choose your fate with one simple kiss; it's like kissing the devil, you recall.

Yet as you continue to make the mistake over and over again; don't expect him to come through,
He's done all he can to save you, yet you just won't let him. Did you know you're worth so much more?
And even as you go over the answer ["Yes,"] in your head, you fall back into her manipulating arms,
You think you've gotten what you deserved, but you're just an angel too scared to explore.

So, press the all ready bloody scissors deep into your skin; you know you enjoy it,
The thrill of getting hurt is what you believe you deserve; there's nothing more to say,
You beg for help and then run from the advice like an abused child from the abuser;
One day you might be okay . . . who are we kidding? you're too far gone to save.

    Not your best. I liked the idea behind it but I thought the flow was kind of off and it didn't seem to have as much heart and soul in it as your other poems do.

    I don't really see why you titled it 'The Autopsy'. The only other organ you used besides the skin was a kidney.

    Like I said before, the flow was off. It seemed more like you wanted to get something out of your system so bad that you forgot to put your essence into it.

    Not your best but it wasn't terrible either. 4/5

    First off, I loved the story line behind your words...it was very creative and something you don't see a lot of readers explore into these days, lol. The imagery was good and so was the flow, all in all this was a really good poem; not that I should expect any different from you.

    5.5

    This is an amazing poem - dark, but so enchanting! it sounded a bit like prose it parts, but it was almost too intense to be, plus the flow was so perfect. the repetition of some words and phrases really added to the effect, but sometimes I wasn't exactly sure I knew what you meant - like, how can you press a scissors into your kidney? wouldn't you die? I wouldn't actually know, thats just what I think. Regardless of any critique, this was an absolutely amazing poem!
