You Left Nothing

by Lost & Delirious   Jun 8, 2007


Tired of fighting an endless battle,
I'm letting go of hope
And giving in to you,
My dear assassin.
You left nothing worth living,
So why don't you
Take over me now?
I'm all yours.
Hold me tight
Until the senseless breathing stops,
And I'm gone.
Stab the body,
And release the aching spirit.
Let your venom run through my veins,
And I'll sleep forever.
Take me with you,
And it will be over.
Peace...finally.
The damned world will be left behind.
And you'll know you did it all.

    This work somehow managed to get a hold of my attention, although I usually am not keen of its thought. The poem's thought, nevertheless, was presented rather well in a distinctive way of self-expression. The subject's desperate demise, under the semblance of a "dear assassin," was a major, metaphorical highlight of this piece. In its technical aspects, however, I believed that there is a need for structural augmentation in order to enhance the flow.

    Anyway, I actually adored the following lines:

    "Stab the body,
    And release the aching spirit."

    How could Death grant such a delusive freedom of the soul is beyond my limited understanding. A fabulous piece, nonetheless. It was my pleasure to read. =] ~Marian

    I liked this a lot. It gives off a strong feeling of hopelessness, nothing left to live for, so what's the point? Very nicely done.

    "You left nothing worth living," = there should be a 'for' on the end of this: 'You left nothing worth living for,'
