Ravished

This is strange...

Curious lips of a blade firmly wrap
Around sun bronzed flesh
Nibbling and tasting voraciously
Needful, ravaging, lusting
Itching for the metallic tang of
Blood balling on the surface like pearls
Aching of a desire for more
Love of destruction
Starving for skin

self mutilation is a hard thing to recover from and many don't understand the need to cut. Many label people with this disorder as "freaks". Not true...it is a detrimental way of self nurturing when people don't know how to do it in a positive way and it comes an addiction.

Wonderful! I could feel the blade against my own skin, but as a tickling. A sensation. It goes above and beyond. The diction is fantastic. I loved it :)

WOW! "Blood balling on the surface like pearls" and "Starving for skin" I love the lack of punctuation. I'm not really sure what "lips of a blade" are... scizzors? Unless the lips of a sharp lover?

Great poem! Really descriptive:)

Wow, incredible piece! It really shows the desperation people allow them selves to fall in to and how you can get so addicted and always "desire for more". I love the line "itching for the metallic taste of blood balling on the surface like pearls" very well done and so so descrptive. great work :)
