I'm sick of denying
sick of relying

trying to forget
mind won't relent

upon this one thought
my skin stretch taught

when i look upon ur face
my heart begins to quicken in pace

i don't even wish it
wounds open just a tiny slit

just enough to feel a sting
a prick a sliver a funny thing

oh a funny thing is love
so evil yet innocent as a dove

white so putrid i feel sick
hot flames begin to scar to lick

and the only relief
is in ones true belief

In Death

someone told me that rhyming in couplets is extremely hard to do, and i think they are right cuz it's really restricting, but it looks like you did your best so i  can't complain a whole lot, i would however suggest trying to do this same poem as a freeverse and see if you can't say what you wanna say better. (but i would keep the "white so putrid i feel sick
hot flames begin to scar to lick" lines, cuz that is just plain art right there=)

"upon this one thought

This is the only part that sounds really forced, but the rest is really good.

I cant really say much about the rhyming in couplets, because it is really hard to do, and i respect anyone that can.
I liked the ending. It was awesome.
