You

You are a monster,

tailored perfectly for me.

You exist solely for my destruction.

You torment me with your lies

and distorted philosophies.

You feed me with your thoughts.

You poison me with your curses,

polluting my mind with your shade of evil.

 

You are my ultimate definition of hell

and you hold me captive in your abyss.

You refuse to free me from your grasp

for I am your favorite prisoner.

You delight in my vulnerability,

my faint resolutions,

my vain attempts to escape.

 

You applaud my falls,

taking every error

as a chance to condemn me.

You laugh at my virtues

and you question my beliefs.

You take pleasure in my cries of agony;

my screams are music to your ears.

 

You wipe away every memory of bliss,

draining me of life,

emptying me of myself.

You strip me off of my heart

in your desire to make me be like you.

You are my monster, my enemy.

I am you and you are me.

Wow, Blue, I really like that your experimenting continues! You do a really good job of breaking away from your usual positively themed writing to expand your boundaries, and I must say, you did a great job of treading into more "noir" waters. What's excellently done here is you channeled that sense of intimately knowing something that's torturous, that it's often something someone has to live with every day because it's something/someone close to you. I'd offer a suggestion on making it better, but, well, I can't find anything wrong with it; another great piece of work. :)

Now that you mentioned it, I'm actually considering the idea of revising it. Thank you, Matt. :)

I'm hoping the same thing, too. Thanks a lot, Avinash. :)

This was fantastic Blue. I thought it was about some one changing you until the end, then i discovered it was about you changing your self.

It's bad enough that there are monsters around every corner of this life, but the monsters within us are the most fearsome. We are indeed their favourite prisoner...I loved that line. A powerful piece you've penned here Blue :)

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Mission accomplished, then. Thank you so much! :)

[kublakhan27]

Always a pleasure :)

A very philosophical piece of poetic introspection, an absorbing analysis of the human psyche, tremendously worded as well! Splendid Blue !

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Thank you for your beautiful words, Tom.. :)
