Alive

A deal with death can't save you from everything...

Phantom hands rest upon my shoulders

Vestiges of the deepest dark restraining me

Intent upon leaving their mark

 

Forbidden secrets rip through tender flesh

Wild beasts competing for an untainted heart

I would be the centerpiece for their gluttony

Though I refuse to take part.

 

Unbeknownst to those who would hurt me

This hole they’ve crawled into

Lies forever numb beneath my breath

And the measured tempo of each cold breath

Belies the courtesy I’ve already extended

To my dear friend, Death.

 

I could run from all that’s yet to come

But these demons will are not for none

They’ve sewn their GPS into my skin

Attracted to my blood because it is a sin

With vim and vigor they’d scour the earth

Until they devour what I was worth when

I was…

 

Always

Loving

Inspiring

Vivacious

Earth-shattering

A good place for experimenting and sharing for sure. Thank you for both...:)

I like this. It's so different and I love how you have incorporated your acrostic in at the end. The darkness must be fed you know.

[Kristin Lee]

Yes, the darkness must be fed, lol. It is very different, still not quiet sure how I feel about it. Thanks so much for your feedback!

there are just those who hate vivacious and loving..and want to bring those people down who exhibit these qualities...not sure i like the purple letters...i think just capitals would work and be a bit more subtle...although i like that ending...

[Kristin Lee]

I agree, there are always people who want to tear people who personify life down. as if they hurt out eyes. Thanks for checking this one out...I'm still not sure how I feel about it.
