Bend Me, Break Me [Rispetto]

by Pete   Sep 26, 2007


I feel him pursuing me, he haunts every dream.
He's freezing my thoughts with every iced breath.
I know why he's doing this, so it would seem.
He's forcing my hand, while awaiting my death.

I sense that he's near, my breath still abated.
Now it would appear he has fruitfully waited.
I forfeit to my death, now caress me and take me.
His unholy breath, persists to bend me then break me

    First of all iced should be icy. The description is good and it carries the mood well but thats all it does it never draws closure to the bigger picture of the poem it almost l;eaves you hanging well thats the way I see it Plot121

    Powerfully written, you said so much with just eight lines and that is really impressing. I like the ending line, it is really effective. Truly excellently written, with good imagery and greatly described feelings. It deserves 5/5
