Running into dark walls.

As things blow up

and become something of a much bigger state

I quietly start to cry

Forgetting how to speak in that moment

I lose track of what i really want

The words that leave your mouth

Both sting and please me

You say you are speaking the truth

 I feel trapped and unsure what to believe

You call my name

bringing me closer to a place of the unknown

Each step I take, I try to take with caution

but as your voice gets warmer

my chest slowly rises to explosion

I want to break fast into the wind

into your beautiful presence 

Every inch of me is screaming no

Yet I continue

Back to the place where I ran from 

Back to shivering in the cold

Back into your soul-less arms

Frozen in the sweetness of your lies.

Wow, this is really good!

Another remarkable example of skill, not overworked or undercooked. Just right!

OUCH, this actually stung a little bit just to read. Honestly, you are writing from inside yourself and you mean what you say, but guess what? You are a reflection of me as well, like a clone. I feel like we are the same person, yet we write in different ways, different fashions... I am bewildered, how is it that I can read your poem and it reminds me of me? The best line that makes my eyes wide and my heart quicken just a tad, is this line... "The words that leave your mouth Both sting and please me". Have you ever felt like you are twisted, like how could you smile at something so terrible? Has something ever had a painful edge to it, yet you still kind of enjoy the pain somehow?

I love the last line, greatly worded and yet so so sad.
