schizo

a schizophrenic professes his love.

give me a minute
to tell you i love you,
and it'll turn into a year.

               give me your life
               to make my own,
               and you will rot in my hell
               as i grin eternity away.

your eyes, your eyes,
like god's chosen angels
gleaming and glimmering
just for me.

              your eyes--
              like rotted swine.
              i will replace them
              with hot jets of blood.

i would live
every tomorrow
just for you.

             you will not live
             to see another day.


              

Author's Note

Another mentally unstable love poem. This one is considerably longer than my last.

Reviews

[Helen Crutchett]

I loved the format and the ideas penned in this poem.

[SilentLullabies]

Wow! Amazing write! I love it! So twisted. I was smiling the entire time

This is.. admittedly scary to read late at night. Very raw. Thumbs up (and down simultaneously for the goosebumps).

[MIngram]

This is a very thought provoking poem. It makes me wonder if this is how Schizophrenics really go about expressing themselves. Rich word choice. Keep it up.

[Miss Fox]

The contrast is stunning, and the format adds to this contrast. Well done.

[The Hopeless Writer]

nicely done and very thought out
