Sweet Death

by Vanessa   Jun 7, 2007


Trees bending in the wind
It's the beginning of the end
Rain falling against my skin
Tortured by eyes that reflect sin
Haunted by his cold disturbing touch
I have fallen in the Devil's clutch

My jeans are torn and caked mud
Lips the color of Satan's blood
Nerves are worn, mind's confused
Spirit broken, heart is bruised
Hands are slightly shaking
Due to all the drugs I am taking

All I can do is beg for release
Pray for all the agony to cease
Raised outstretched arm to the sky
Asking The Lord to just let me die
All the faces and images invade my dreams
Every night waking me to silent screams

I see his hand caress my face
As he drug me off to a secluded place
Choking me with the scent of desire and sweat
All of it, a time, I will never forget
I can't go on like this anymore
Please just give me what I long for...

S-Silence in a noisy room
W-Wasteland of impending doom
E-Eating at the essence of my very soul
E-Erasing everything I will ever know
T-Telling me pain isn't even real

D-Drugs suppress how I feel
E-Empty inside a decaying shell
A-Alone in my own private hell
T-Taking with me the secrets I hold
H-Here I lie dead, stiff and cold

    Wow! this is amazing! i love how you got it all to rhyme without any of them sounding forced. the flow was amazingly perfect. the only part that seemed a little off to me was the lines about your hands shaking because of the drugs... they ruin the flow, but only for that short while, everything else is perfecto!
    great job!

    It was a cool poem. The flow was very good. I really liked the rhyming. The word choice as always was great. I also liked the format you used for the last two stanzas. That was cool. I gave it a 5/5.
