Hate PoemA Poem by AshrI was thinking that there is too much love poetry. Much of it very clichée. So I distractedly wrote an unhinged poem that starts from a clichée and turns to horror. I tried to go for "disturbing".I cannot live without you My canvas forever bears your paint You have traced an arrow of pure crimson To pierce my chest Drawn words, like edges of sharp obsidian Over my heartstrings Cut apart my flesh Rending my steel to the core Twisted the air in a chain Enslaving me My wind is as weary of you As the candle is of the fire You spilled life-blood on my hands The brand will not away I looked to the uncaring skies Would they not undo this ? Such terror I was ; yet was it not your wish ? Sowing ruin to reap my hatred Whose dizzyingly sweet flower Now blooms on my fingertips I love you.
