Don't

Read it.

 

Don’t touch me with sugary words,

I prefer the bitterness of blood.

It runs much purer than any wine

And gives me fresher life.

 

Don’t try to save me with friendship

Unless you want to be dragged down

In my wake, down we’ll tumble

Into the depths of madness, Hell, who knows?

 

Don’t think about me anymore,

Get used to it, I won’t remain.

You’ll have to forget me sometime

Because I’ll fade away with the winds.

 

Don’t tell me what you see in me,

Take another, deeper look my friend

And tell me, has your perspective changed?

Beside me ice is hot as lightning.

 

Don’t bother to get close to me,

Don’t bother to know who I am.

Don’t peer into my mangled soul.

Don’t you dare tell me I’m wrong.

 

Do any of these,

Can’t say I didn’t warn you.

When you play with my black fire,

You’ll become my sacrifice.

"when you play with my black fire, you'll become my sacrifice"..... That line alone made me catch my breath! Man, I've nothing adequate to say for this one, but I'll try.
These piece is honestly brutal, and i can almost feel these words pushing be backwards, holding me at arm's length. A bitterness, sarcastic and yet, all around the edges of this block print, there is an aura that is saying. "Come closer, I'm in pain, don't judge me too early."
And it's that aura one must follow, instead of the commands of this bully-ish poem. I stay, I shall not be intimdated, and I dare this poem to make me do otherwise!! ;) Harsh and yet, splendid.~P

Yikes! Someone pissed you off dude? I hope you get pissed off more often. I liked this! And I stand with Pyrite! We're never leaving you!

This piece reminds me of something I wrote. It was titled Black (now, deleted). I do not have a copy of it now but I remember it was all self - blame, regret and guilt. There are times when something goes severely wrong. And for some reason we take the blame for it. There are people who stand by us for what reason, we don't know. In our hearts we don't want to hurt them but we are constantly afraid that we will.

I don't know what were you thinking when you wrote this. The words are very powerful, blunt...ripped through me.

Some emotions are relatable. I wish they were not and yet I LOVE it.
