Flowering Guilt

by WaitAutumn   May 30, 2008


I am the stain you can't clean
The moment ingraved in your memory
I am the bliss running down your opened wrists
Cut in deeper my darling

I am the dart lacerating your heart
Thrown to take away the pieces,
as you fall apart
Let me in my precious

I am the flowering guilt you dread
The unforgivable choice you took
I am the love you murdered
Let your tears fall as I spread

I am the flame devouring from inside
Flickering my sweet warmth
Without me, empty as stone you'll be
My patience has a limit, don't push me aside

I am the shadow watching over you
The mistakes you commit
I am the only to be counted on
Believe me my love, I'd never be untrue

I will be your last breath
Let me protect you from all harm
Take me just once more
And I promise you, I' ll follow you to death

-never believed in forever-

    I've read it about four times and I still feel there is something else hidden in that poem, in those deep lines... Definitely it was a profound write, and it can suggest so many things... However, one thing was all clear, the emotion, the feeling it portrayed: loneliness, exasperation, harrowing frustration, the inevitable permanent companion, surrounding shadow, pain. Well, it was an excellent write, not dark actually, but really heartbreaking. Keep it up! 5/5

    Btw, I loved the repetition ' I am.. ' ^^. Wonderful job!

    Take care,
