Regret runs through me
Trickling inside my veins
Throbbing muscles
become inflamed

My eyes, dark and wet
with the agony they dwell
Your eyes burn flesh
Like flames of hell

Temperature sky-rocketing
Pulsating arteries about to burst
Wild animal hunger
Un-quenchable thirst

Nineteen year old body
In perfect state upon arrival
Breakdown on it's horizon
Strenth engulfs me for survival

You remain a bad omen
that struck like lightning bolts
Damn near marinated me
Those high wattage volts

Good always outdoes Evil
Unlike movies, I have no energy
to relive a sequel

RP this is outstanding I could feel the anger and the temperature from here.

A write like that is ideal for getting the pain out. Truly awesome

Write on and I hope you're on the road to heaven now.


Love and warm stuff

Wow.  I am glad to see that there will be no sequel.  Sounds like it was definitely a painful experience.  The poem definitely captures that with your clever use of metaphors.  Nicely done.
