Wounded Prey

With a sharp tongue so vicious
You leave your presence behind
Reminding her of her problems
While you creep through her mind

A relationship built on promises
Knowing that none will come true
Her image captured by your face
Your smile, a cold steely blue

You wait with venomous eyes
Always hoping for the worst
You thrive on her despair
Crimson quenches your thirst

Lust shrouded by untrue love
You rip through her trusting soul
Your pleasure leaves her empty
Her emptiness leaves you whole

Your lies provide no answers
True love lives without fear
Her happiness will rebuild
When you are no longer here

Thats good stuff..very good

Comment by darksideofme: Jan 28, 2009 1:54 am

Its relatable..... but over all cliche..... and sort of boring.

Although I do like these two lines.

"Your pleasure leaves her empty
Her emptiness leaves you whole"

and

"Your lies provide no answers
True love lives without fear"

SHAKESPEAR

Comment by Bellatrix: Aug 13, 2009 9:05 am

"Your pleasure leaves her empty
Her emptiness leaves you whole"

I can relate to the feeling completely. Excellent poem, you've got a lot of talent. The portrayal of the power and dominance he feels by keeping her down is very accurate, nice work.
