Don't ask me what it means, sorry to say this is just another one that wrote itself

Can you feel the evil
surrounding your soul
can you feel it's tentacles
ensnaring your heart
wrapping around it and squeezing
until the last drop of blood
seeps out to the ground
leaving your heart dead and barren
listen
as that drop of blood hits the ground
and bonds with the soil
and as the blood begins to boil it spreads
farther and farther, deeper as well
then the blood encounters a seed
a small fragile seed of a vine
the blood makes the seed erupt
spreading it's vines outward
the grow
thicker and longer
one reaches up
then another and another
the plants tendrils encircle a heart...

Doesn't really rhyme or anything...I guess you could call it free form?

Well done....wonderful dark imagery!!! I really enjoyed this poem.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Well done!

Yes, good work... very dark, but that's the way (uh-huh uh-huh) I like it.  
I like the description of the path that the droplet of blood took, and its result.  I thought this was brilliant symbolism.
Awesome job!
