Supressed

pin me down on the cold, hard floor

i dont even know what i want anymore

rough rope tightened around my wrists

blood draining from two clenched fists

fervent eyes meet my own empty pair

a gridlock stare, a passionless glare

they say the eyes are the window to the soul

but thats only true if you allow a loss of control

sweat sweeping down my skin leaves a trail

salty fingers in my mouth in an attempt to prevail

making it hard to exhale a single thought or word

thus leaving resurfaced passion unheard--

uncontrollable word vomit swallowed back

creating an air sac in my blood stream and

an inevitable heart attack.

the color drains from your face as you begin

to pace.

knife to chest cavity you grab my heart , trying

to get it to restart its beautiful, beating art

but you fail to breathe life back into my soul

suppressed emotions really took their toll

This is so beautiful, dark, haunting, intriguing and appeals to the sensory experience just as wonderfully as it is full of beautiful and crisp imagery. I felt the sensations. I love the line "uncontrollable word vomit swallowed back" I love how you describe this crippling feeling of passion suppressed. Also, in your poem it is spelled correctly, but in your title, you may want to edit to "Suppressed." Great writing! Looking forward to more!
