Nowhere

I'm my own disease
My soul's worn thin
Rolling down my sleeves
Empty within
You see me as the moldy green jello
Desecrating inside your fridge
Look upon me with disgust
Can't cross my bridge
I want you to eat me
And feel this hollow b****
I want you to swallow
Each and every bit
I taste like hott death
I feel like ice
I sound like bitter silence
Beyond the dead of night
Eyes look beyond me
Through me
Never knew me
Tasting sweetness on their sour tongues
Bitterness at the tip
Blood seeping from my lip
I go beyong belonging
I stay so near to far
I can't turn back
Or keep on going
This is where we are

This poem shows a bit of zealous pattern to a
sexual over tone.
However, when looking past that point...
I see a great dark style.
You have a excellent way of weaving your words.

Okay, it was a little hard to look past "Moldy green jello", but I liked this line:

Tasting sweetness on their sour tongues

and the light rhyming throughout,
specifically

Bitterness at the tip
Blood seeping from my lip


This piece: leaning farther toward angst or fatalism? Either way, a few clever phrases
...just stay away from the instant foods.

This reminded me of a work:

called DevilsFoodCake

"The devil in you
ate a piece of me today
Did it taste like a cake?
or was it a burst of a lemon flame."

I was also caught off guard with the moldy green jello, but found other lines that were great.

this way very good,and vague,but the vagueness was suggestive of images and associations,very interesting...

p.s. i like the moldy green jello,to me it was a small bit of absurd morbid humor inserted in a more serious poem,i like that it's rather grotesque =]
