Shattered Madness (The Sociopathic Lover)

My soul is shattered.
Cast into eternal darkness,
My eyes, they only see.....
Haunting memories of yesterday,
When you and I
Were one,
Were loved.

 

 

I suffer in this hell,
This hell of my own mind.
Bound to my insanity,
I call upon the voices,

The voices of my despair,
The voices of my loneliness,
And the voices of my past.

 

 

'Carry your cross
Carry your sins.
Now drown forever

In your crimson blood.
You slit the skin,
You told the lies,
Now face your fears
And look in our eyes.
You believed in love,
You believed in fate,
Now all you know
Is pain and hate.
We took your love,
We took your life,
You held out your hands
So we gave you the knife.'

 

 

I carve the notches in my skin
In rememberance

Of you
Of me
And all we once held dear.

 

 

Haunted,
I still recall your screams,
And your eyes.
Those eyes!
Such pools of sadness,
I wanted to sink into oblivion
If only to be with you forever.

 

 

Lifeless,
I submerged my soul with yours
Only to feel nothing.
Awake my princess,

Give me a sign
Give me a hope.
I dreamt of a utopia,
An Eden.
Now, all I find is hell

As demons chant:


'Carry your cross
Carry your sins.
Now drown forever

In your crimson blood.
You slit the skin,
You told the lies,
Now face your fears
And look in our eyes.
You believed in love,
You believed in fate,
Now all you know
Is pain and hate.
We took your love,
We took your life,
You held out your hands
So we gave you the knife.'

 

 

You gave me the knife,
I struck who I loved most.
I curse myself,
I curse the world!
Yet...........
I dare say, my heart,
My heart is calm.

 

 

An exuberance of passion stirs
An ember from the flame
Still flickers
Still roars
Knowing you are etched......
In....my.....essence.

Author's Note

A poem about a sociopathic murderer who recalls his former lover(victim). It's alot different style-wise, but I wanted to try something new.

Reviews

[Fragilebrokendreams]

nice one, definetly keeps me into the poem. Very entrancing

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

It does read almost like a manual for the disection of information and report, a different structure for you, keep with it, good read.

[RedInk524]

It is a good attention grabber, a very diffent feel compared to your usual style. But at the same time, it still carrys that corroding and empty weight that most of your poems carry. Its like a thumbprint of yours.

[KimLove "The Beautiful ..]

Well you grab my attention. It's good, great as a matter fact. You have a magic pen my friend nicely done. xx

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

Deeply dark and penned oh so well!

Like always, all your work is amazing. Just a little something about it. I'm not sure what. that strikes the person reading. I think some of these thoughts could associate with some people around here. Yet, at the same time, they don't.

Nice write,

Oh, and with my line of work I have to say that I love the last two closing lines..
"Knowing you are etched..in my essence". People that understand energy will really feel that :) xx
