A SCARY TIME FOR YOUNG MEN

" the power deprived is no longer mine "

                 

the pull of a stare

attraction creates

a flicker to spark

eyes meet sweet

caught in the haste

a cheek to bliss

the gentle brush

desire delivers in the click of a lock

hands clutched tight on your neck

the shock, the tightening seize

a gripping strength, a slow squeeze

the mind dazed, a hunt to breathe

hardwired impulse, a raw surging need

clawing hands in an iron grasp

the steadfast catch

enforce a steel reap

heat from the hiss of a monster

slices in the ear

tears fall for God’s wretched care

a kiss dry upon your cheek

final is seen so clear

the violence of a stranger

crushing sincere

pain defends

a will to suffer

wounds heal and fade

as isolation aids

a mind free to fear

placed in your outline

lost beside time

hinged in a turning point

roaming corners blind

caught off guard

bows down to find

the power deprived

I no longer call mine

broken walks biased

to places inside

screaming beneath

a paralyzed surface

trapped

in your embrace

fingers search to retrace

dignities vacant place

ravaged in a waste

I live buried alive

I look for you all the time

I sleep on the furthest edge of a cliff

I wake trespassing the abyss

A well-placed smile and flattering words can be the death of you.
The will to survive, or just lady luck. Maybe both.
If the table could be turned. How would she kill him?

[Nipplegrinder]

This is remarkably well conceived.
I love the way you force the reader to read this differently. Not only the way you placed the space on the left, but your words weave the tale. So well done.

Force is the key subject here. This was influenced by POTUS and his foolish verb age. It inspired an anger. Thank you

A passionate kiss then goodbye forever, sounds like her parents were involved in this conspiracy.

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

Inspired by true events. An attraction leads to a violent attack in which the victims gives up sees the end. A man leaves a woman's lifeless body proud of the life he has taken. Hours later she lives and breath's. The first part is violent the second is her survival, he will always be there the last lines sum it up. I do love your romantic interpretation. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.

Sometimes, we find a deadly ending my friend.
"I live buried alive
I look for you everywhere
I sleep on the furthest edge of a cliff
I wake trespassing the abyss"
I did like the above lines. The story in the poetry. Make the reader believe. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
