The Cupcake in my Eye

A devil whispers in my ear, temping me,

Wishing for nothing but sinful behavior

I should have slit its throat a long time ago

Black thorns buried deep inside my veins

Slowly draining my existence away

Your kiss unlocks the deadlock battles inside

You live in the gap between man and monster.

I use your love as my shield

My built up pain as my sword

A suit of armor built by our collective craziness

All to slash and kill the demons of my past

Take a last look of what I was

I’m not that starry eyed doe of a boy

Now I’m indestructible…

Destroy the bridge and deadly gap in my mind

Between Reaper and the man I am.

I’ll move forward, masking the fight inside

All signs point to bloody victory

As long as you are by my side

You told me to believe

The belief I would love again

Who knew it was going to be you

That I would fall in love with

And get some salvation for my soul.

Your words take on a meaning to what true love is and the willingness to do anything for anyone. It shows the turmoil of life and pain and how one moment of uncertainty can open into a cavern of love we've never truly know was there. It blossoms in the life of scarce freedom and fright. In the time where we cannot see much further then our own hands like puppet strings held to our face. Running without seeing, and it captures us, as you have captured this poem with a breathlessness so beautiful.

Well done. :)

[Shy Girl]

It begins so dark and automic...but turns hopeful and wonder filled. I like the change throughout your poem...it's slow and steady and has meanings well beyond what you have penned down...we all hope for that one moment that we have finally found peace...be that on a journey of self discovery..or something as simple as her smiling words to you. Whether complex or simple that one turning point is there just awaiting our discovery. Wonderful piece truely it is... :)

This poem very smooth, it's like tempting me to do something I'm not suppose to do,It's beautiful.

Some are able to open our eyes and make us believe we can do certain things that we would never dream of before...and we should be grateful for those. Pain is only temporary, but it may last longer for some than others because some are not able to move on as quick...they allow the pain to stick around. To keep them stuck in that dark place. To embrace the pain and deal with their past, though the past shouldn't matter.

That's a paradox O.O really good and I was not expecting the ending. Cool poem, especially with all the symbolism. Definantly made it interesting.

A very powerful poem, well told.; both fighter and protector. Are you sure you want to say "You told me to believe/ the belief I would love again"? To me that sounds awkward.
