There was no cure
I like the flow in and out between the juxtapose of pain and love, relationships and also how you have a greater clarity than the guy here, you able to draw someone into your world...that is very intriguing, seductive and powerful, I see Cleopatra swaying like a hypnotic snake...but in the end it wasn't meant to be...tho your power is still there and lessons learned that will make you even greater.
The lines dig deep into the soul with raw emotion.. You bleed it true and fast, the words hold the reader captive until the end. These days there are few rules in poetry - it is evolving.. anything goes..
A-men. This is really great amatuer work. It actually really touched me, but that's a conversation and this is a review. There is a lot of ways to take this, metaphorically, that is. Of course I am guessing suicide, but depression and drug addiction as well. In fact you use pain as a good metaphor through out. If I could give you suggestions to fix anything it would be your use of punctuation and I will point out why.
When using punctuation in poetry the same rules apply as if you are writing a story so:
"Pain is heartache, (. ;) Pain is heartache is a sentence so you can use a period or semicolon.
Pain is an emotional heart break.
Pain is a roller coaster, However here this should be a comma or none at all
That is filled with twists, turns, and hills. Because it connects to this line
Pain is an emotional medication,
Best taken if it were a pill.
Pain is love. (Semi-Colon)
Love is an emotional bond that holds me to you.
Pain is the love that forces me to seduce you.
Take you into my world, mold and console you.
Pain is the way you walked out of my life.
Love is the way i got over my hurt you left me to endure.
For this pain, a pill. (comma)
There was no cure."
Full Punctuation in poetry is something that is merging more and more into style of younger writers. Not that it hasn't been around. I really enjoyed this.
