Flashbacks

by ShadowsEmber   Dec 15, 2014


I don't understand these feelings.

I love you

Yet these flashbacks tell a different tale,
not ours.

The demon's sweet words being whispered in my ear,
reminding me of our dance together.

Making my heart and body,
long,
need,
to be embraced by the forces of possession.

His words make my heartbeat cease in a strange way.

With every step forward the demon takes,
there is another step back from you.

So who do I listen to?

I cannot listen to myself,
for the demon has captivating words that I become possessed by.

So please, my dear, save me now before it is too late....

    The words in parenthesis is I think would've been better because it just I don't know sounds wrong.

    I think I want to laugh and no, I don't mean to insult you but when it comes to people "saving" anyone I find it funny since my parent's motto to me was "If you want to be saved, save yourself don't wait for Prince Charming, he isn't coming to save you", besides my snarky comment (which I apologize for) I think this poem has nice imagery, the emotions are there, and the concept was nice but I don't necessarily love the poem. Don't worry you are still young in poetry as everyone else is! Keep writing! 4/5

    I like the way your voice and your idea come through this piece so well. I hope all is well, but I love how you actually made this one a challenge, even for me, to understand. Great word choice and interesting style choice paired with your chosen set up.
