Tool of My Destruction
Don't make the slipknot fit too tight
Hang it loose around my neck
And when the floor falls down
The rope will catch me quick
Before I even hit the ground
Will you save me from tomorrow
Can you release me from the sorrow
I think you can be my hero
And you can be my everything
Don't push the blade in all the way
Feel the heat from me, set free
As it covers you in crimson
This is where I want to be
Before I leave this prison
Can you protect me from the rage
Will you carve into this cage
Your strength is what it takes
And I know you have the power
Don't force my face under the water
I will not panic from the fear
Soft, lay me down into the depths
That wash away the last of tears
Before I take my final breath
Will you free me from the pain
Can you erase away my name
When I am bound as your love slave
And laid to rest inside the grave
Through your power and your strength
With all the gifts you've given me
You are the hero that I need
The only one, my everything
Hang it loose around my neck
And when the floor falls down
The rope will catch me quick
Before I even hit the ground
Will you save me from tomorrow
Can you release me from the sorrow
I think you can be my hero
And you can be my everything
Don't push the blade in all the way
Feel the heat from me, set free
As it covers you in crimson
This is where I want to be
Before I leave this prison
Can you protect me from the rage
Will you carve into this cage
Your strength is what it takes
And I know you have the power
Don't force my face under the water
I will not panic from the fear
Soft, lay me down into the depths
That wash away the last of tears
Before I take my final breath
Will you free me from the pain
Can you erase away my name
When I am bound as your love slave
And laid to rest inside the grave
Through your power and your strength
With all the gifts you've given me
You are the hero that I need
The only one, my everything

Thank you dearest, I don't know why but when I flow it usually ends up rhyming. I have to force myself not to. Lol

Very nice Medinda! And sad, and I know how you feel sometimes, but don't ever get any ideas! We all like you too much.
And that rhyming comment, I do that all the time! Every time I try to create a new line, I rhyme! I drive me nuts!
Great poem, though.
Matthew.

something very special this way comes from you quill - I felt every line deep down inside, read it out loud several times it caused me real memories real emotions and really touched me. I recognise these feelings and although some people will see this as depressing but they need to look at with better eyes than that. You're still here to write this poem of power :-)

I'm humbled and honored when you read me. Literally gave me goosebumps to know that it had such an effect on you.

I am a of the belief that poetry that doesn't cause an emotional response is not good poetry - could be laughter and joy, could be sadness and grief, could be of friendship or support it should have that element and this one surely did :-))))))

I really liked all of this but
Don't make the slipknot fit too tight
"Hang it loose around my neck
And when the floor falls down
The rope will catch me quick
Before I even hit the ground"
And
"Feel the heat from me, set free
As it covers you in crimson
This is where I want to be
Before I leave this prison"
Really stood out to me I agree with one of the comments above about it being really lyrical I think you made it flow with your choice of words and you made it it really hit hard. Well done great piece written here.
