Dysfunctional

by Lady Nik   May 3, 2011


Someone once spoke of love
as if it were a fairy tale not
an emotion. Boy meets girl and
the world is their's for the taking.
Beautiful--
So you would think, except beauty is
the cover for all of our
dark misshapen lies.

Your kisses leave me paralyzed
void of past, present and future,
there is no such thing as
tomorrow, there is only
you. Your eyes pierce through
me like sharp carving utensils, leaving
my heart upon this operating
table for your eternal devotion.
Dissect me with your thoughts,
destroy me with your touch,
I beg you...

You ran into me like a bullet
fleeing it's chamber. I'm pouring
buckets of blood mixed with
a sick uprising of tangled
passion. Everything about you
has shattered the mold you
were conceived in.

I once asked for normalcy--
but you're a disease that I
have to keep feeding. I don't
love you no more than I hate you.
I'm dysfunctional for you. Spinning
into a frenzy with my hands tied
behind my soul hoping, wishing
you'd come back and knock me
off my axis.

Someone once spoke of love...
I speak of something deeper.

    I think you should write a book titled: "Dummies guide for portraying a mix of emotions"

    This is one amazing poem ... I felt love, hate, rage, desire, submission .....

    You are sure speaking of something way deeper :D

    Way to go

    "So you would think, accept beauty is"

    Unless I'm reading this wrong (and I could lol) I think "accept" should be "except", right? :)

    "there is no such thing as
    tomorrow, there is only
    you."

    This is pure beauty. Absolutely gorgeous lines here, I only wish I'd thought of them myself lol. Very inspirational!

    "I don't
    love you no more than I hate you."

    I think this should be 'I love you no more than I hate you'. OR "I don't love you more than I hate you". The double negative threw me off a little.

    I love the repetition in the beginning and the end.. "Someone once spoke of love". I thought it was interesting and wrapped everything together very well. You had a lot of strong images and one thing I can definitely say about this piece is that it is full of absolute raw emotion, and in my opinion that is the best kind of poetry we can have.

    That ending hit home for me, and I think it was the PERFECT ending to this poem. So often people think love is as far as it goes, but to those truly in love, head of heels, soul mate kind of love, it feels much more, it's deeper and something you just can't pinpoint or put your finger on. This truly was a beautiful poem! Well done!
