Excerpt from "Addiction"
An original depiction:
"And it make you so cruel
As you play with my heart
You laugh at my tears
And that rips me apart
I swear that I'll leave you
But then i'm back the next day
Cuz your devious apologies
Are always pulling me to stay
Like Ashanti I'm so foolish
As I pretend not to see
The obvious truth -
That your love is killing me."
This is an excerpt from one of my poems called "Addiction". I mentioned Ashanti in reference to her song "Foolish". The title of the song says it all, doesn't it?

The waking water lily streches to meet the
morning's sun
Yawning ripples in serene silence
Weeping willows cry green pastel tears
Wilting into the depths of a Utopian pond
Shape-shifting clouds entertain the restless sky
between shows of colour and twilight's
sparkling shower
The cool calming water
rises
and dips
as summer breathes on
Leisurely lapping in seasonal bliss
I think I could swim forever . . .

I always thought that when the day
Death knocked upon my door
I’d plead and beg and shriek my cries
In hopes of some days more
Never did I once conceive
In the darkest depths of mind
That I myself would seek out death
His grasp I’d race to find
I encountered him one chilly night
For I had tracked him well
As he slinked and crept and slithered upon
The boundaries of hell
“Hello my friend!” I began
“Please – a moment of your time
I do believe that you forgot
To claim this life of mine”
“I do not make mistakes,” He sneered
“Your clock has not run out”
I shook my head “My life is done,
Of that I have no doubt.
My parents never loved me
I was the forlorn mistake
All my life – preyed upon
An outlet for their hate
I was the dark yet pitiful girl
Pathetic and unkempt
Potential friends avoided me
And in loneliness swept
I sought love in the worst of places
Abused by countless men
Midnight horrors clench my heart
Along with ‘could have been’s’
The only man who ever cared
He too walked away
Dampened by my rage of pain
He lost the will to stay
Hanging by a single thread
Above a gaping hole
I found myself betrayed again
This time by my soul
Frightened by this great abyss
My one escape is death
So seize the remains of my damaged heart
Consume my faltering breath”
As Death stood looming over me
His steel eyes pierced my own
“I do not make mistakes” he sneered
And then ordered me home
I screamed and cursed and threw a fit
For even Death had turned His back
And sent me to return
To my life of crimson black
I always thought that when the day
Death knocked upon my door
I’d plead and beg and shriek my cries
In hopes of some days more
Years later I met my friend
As He crept into my room
Poised above my bed to strike
Ready to consume
And as my eyes awakened
I whispered a “thank you”
For not taking my life before
When I had begged Him to
For eventually my soul returned
And brought along a mate
My life prolonged to allow
An encounter with my fate
I would not plead for some more days
Years before I should have died
The truth is that my clock had stopped
And Death had simply lied
I owe this one to Third Libra. I wrote it after reading his "Devil's Shadow".
