My Blood Keeps You Sane

by HidinVictim   Mar 5, 2008


Salty taste of blood
Flowing through your lips
Drip-drip from my wrist

I'll slit my veins
To keep you tame
Make sure
You see no pain

With other girls
You may flirt
Stay With me
I'll keep you free

Walk the day
Walk the night
My blood keeps you sane

Cut me up
Slice and dice
Because of love
Don't go to the light

Salty taste of blood
Flowing through your lips
Drip-drip from my wrist

I'll slit my veins
To keep you tame
Making sure
You see no pain

    This was hauntingly awesome, the repetition was really effective and the imagery was spot on (if not a little disturbing). My favourite stanza was:

    "With other girls
    You may flirt
    Stay With me
    I'll keep you free"

    The opening was really strong and drew me into the rest of the poem that was really easy to read because of the natural flow yet awful to read because of the raw pain of the words. Loved it!

    5/5
