Only Lust Can Save You Now

by HidinVictim   Feb 1, 2009


Choke away this nightmare
Scare away this life
Kiss away the tears
But keep hold of the knife

Tear streaked cheeks
And a throat hoarse with scream
Feel this icy water flow
Like my lusty needs

Touch away insanity
Suck away the fear
With demons in my body
Your soul will soon adhere

Choke away my nightmares
And listen to my screams
Touch away insanity
And save the world from me

    I liked the intensity of the poem and the vivid tense imagery you put through each stanza. I feel like you were forcing the flow of the piece, but it didn't really need to be. Don't be afraid not to make things rhyme, even though your skilled at it(:

    Also, I noticed a lack of punctuation, but if you used it then it would probably help the flow so readers will know where to pause and stuff.

    5/5, really vivid piece(:

    *I love this stanza but i would chnage the second line to "And a throart hoarse from screams", but other than that very powerful message*
