To Death

by Pete   Nov 27, 2007


All my pitiful existence
with you by my side
make yourself comfy
in my soul you reside

You're the thorn in my side
the pain in my head
the weight on my chest
my feeling of dread

A sinful destroyer
preys on my essence
the darkest of passengers
awaits acquiescence

You want me, need me
yet you, I abhor
reluctant resignation
can withstand no more

Crystal clearly apparent
God does forsake me
under buckling pressure
you finally take me

I bid you adieu
inhale the last breath
here's my submission letter
address it : To Death

    "All my pitiful existence

    ^^ Amazing opening there, so much intenisty and power wrapped up in few words, that immediately makes me want to continue reading.

    "You're the thorn in my side
    the pain in my head
    the weight on my chest
    my feeling of dread"

    ^^ I adore the imagery you painted in this stanza..beautifully detailed and it created such vivid visuals for me.

    "I bid you adieu
    inhale the last breath
    here's my submission letter
    address it : To Death "

    ^^ LOVE that stanza, easily the favourite part of the piece. I found that stanza alone to hold almost as much emotion and depth as all of the piece together, while simutaneously making for a beautiful intense ending.

    Your flow in this is perfect...it doesn't falter once, while the imagery is beautifully painted.

    Beautifully written.
