Love-d by Xeracy

My body is on fire.

It ignited because of
the intense burning of
my heart for yours.
All I wanted was to get closer to you.
And for you to love me
the way
I LOVEd YOU.

Love will burn you like it's burned me.

Even if you don't believe me
look down into
your blood stained hands
and stare long and hard.
The evidence
is in the remains
of my heart in your hands.
It was yours
and you destroyed it.

I didn't even see it coming.

Please, show everyone my coals
that are still glowing brightly.
Show them that
I LOVEd YOU
and always have.
And that it wasn't me that burned you.
You did that yourself.
All those horrible wretched scars
that make you ugly
are on the body of a masochist
that no one can help.

I am a Martyr.

*Tear*
That is so melancholy - but so wonderful at the same time. I particularily relate to the lines "Look at your blood stained hands....the evidence is the remains of my heart in your hands..."
Extremely atmospheric, descriptive and bursting with imagery.

:) Thanks for your comments. I'm really working on bringing the poem to the reader so they can see it and be there and feel it. Thats probably one of the hardest parts about writing poetry, and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.
