Dead To You
Disembowel me
make a hangman's noose
out of my innards
hang me from
the highest tree
let the crows pick out my eyes
so that I can no longer see
that you are slowly slipping away
gouge out my heart and place it on a stake
for all to laugh at
my passion for you burns bright
your feelings for me dead
i'm playing the fool
cut off my head
my dying mouth will still sing of my love
falling on deaf ears
not stimulating you
I fail to ignite your lust
hurting without you here
disemboweled, hung and beheaded
I still feel you
make a hangman's noose
out of my innards
hang me from
the highest tree
let the crows pick out my eyes
so that I can no longer see
that you are slowly slipping away
gouge out my heart and place it on a stake
for all to laugh at
my passion for you burns bright
your feelings for me dead
i'm playing the fool
cut off my head
my dying mouth will still sing of my love
falling on deaf ears
not stimulating you
I fail to ignite your lust
hurting without you here
disemboweled, hung and beheaded
I still feel you

No one does anguish like a poet... and Crim is a poet!
Amazing images and the darkness leaps out.

I love how you ended it with I still feel you. Makes the poem come alive. Like everything you felt was just a dream because in reality you still could actually feel said person ! Nice one crim xoxo

Powerfully dark. The choice of words grim but so well crafted together. Brenda you weave your emotions so well, no mincing words here for sure.
