Shhh, It's Okay, Gorgeous

This prose is best read as a flowing whole, though I broke it into small paragraphs to make it easier for the eye. Enjoy. =]
`````````````````````````````````````````````
If you grab my hand, I might forget to grasp it back; there's no point to holding something that doesn't have a pulse. You're fighting for a consciousness that I really hope you never find; I could pour acid into your bowels if that's how you'd prefer to stop your heartbeat.

You can hold my hand, but the ashes of galaxies are falling through our fingers, right through our fingers; the world could pass between us, we're so far apart.

You could breathe for air, but I might step out of the room and fill it with nitrogen; even when your eyes flutter shut, we can arrange to keep them open with a few safety pins.

Once your eyes begin to dry, we might be nice enough to put soap filled water in them to keep them moist. And as you struggled, we may sit back and paint your picture. Oh, you look so vulnerable; it's just the way I like it.

We'll tape your mouth shut after you taste a fair amount of glue; what's its texture, I've always wondered.
You won't be able to say a word.

(Shhh, it's okay, Gorgeous.)

And after all that, never forget: I'll always care about you, but you don't mean a thing to me.

    Wow this poem is filled with such hatred and such a pure and unwavering dislike that it brought shivers to my spine. I did what you said and read it as a whole instead of breaking it into paragraphs and your right its does sound better that way. I know this probably isn't what its about but it almost seems to me like the person in the poem really liked the other person but they hurt them to much so they are trying to show them what its like. And they want them to hurt like the first person hurt before. Very graphic details, but that's part of what made this poem so enjoyable. Nice work.

    Its a tad bit morbid but that explains why its catergorized under "Dark Poems"
    I like it. Not suprisingly.
    You did good work on it. :)
    Although it seems that you were a tad bit angered with someone. :/

    Wow I'm impressed, this was beautifuly penned, and I'm glad that you broke it up into versus, or else it would be kinda hard on the eyes. But great vocabulary, strong emotions and a magnificent piece.
    Blessings
