Bleeding Love

Introducing: Jan Allison & Poet Destroyer

Pierced by shards of shattered glass 
Deeper and deeper you stab me 
With lies and venomous words 
Dissecting my heart piece by piece 
Crushed like the petals of a withered rose 
I’m dying … 
Scarlet blood seeps into my very soul 
    Drip 
       Drip 
          Drip 
Into pieces and a bloody mess 
I sacrificed secrets; 
Secrets you tore and tore, 
Gracing a fake friendship, 
Trust tossed like a sweaty towel 
Now karma a poisonous snake 
You plea ... 
To be on death row, decomposing 
Dripping into the night -- Silently 
fading and fading 
Stung by my viper lips, 
     smiling 
        grinning 
           laughing 
Until you are no more

Lynn Marie August 6, 2016 at 7:19 PM A stunning write of the dramatic depths a dark heart will spew into and on to, a gentle, unsuspecting, heart. Incredible grit combined with pure, evocative imagery makes the realism leap off the page. That you co-wrote this, is remarkable, as it is seamless and the layering of key words adds that extra level of wickedness. Terrific writing - gotta love karma! blessings, lynn

Elizabeth Frost July 24, 2016 at 3:59 AM I really like your poem. Flickering hope of nothing to gain, From people playing a game. Believing yesterday's promises, Surely adds to tomorrow`s pain. You have a wonderful way with words. I love your work. ~E

Lexi Davis June 30, 2016 at 8:18 AM i love this poem especially cause i can relate to the feeling it portrays.

Vivek Malhotra May 22, 2016 at 4:04 AM Wicked one , liked it.

Vladislav Raven February 14, 2016 at 7:37 PM Hi Linda, looks as if you have sealed this write with Jan. So sad that blood from a heart's wounds can be made to drip when Love should be so gentle it does not hurt. It shows Love has two heads and it depends on the Lover's the head that is finally shown. We all show Love in our own way. Sometimes it is Love for one and lust for another. Your words show us the darker side of Love and you both write it so well. A seven and into my faves. An excellent write ladies....Vlad.

Robyn Campbell December 30, 2015 at 6:31 PM I love the way you made the drip, drip. Perfect. I can see it. Drip, drip, drip. Great job to the both of you. Excellent.

James Inman December 22, 2015 at 9:01 AM Very, very well written. You both deserve a round of applause for this one.

Keith Bickerstaffe December 11, 2015 at 9:08 PM BRAVO you two! Blistering images and greater than powerful phrasing. If I could come up with the words I'd use 'em. This is to me like the playing of John Coltrane in his later years... inexpressible! Keith Keith Bickerstaffe December 11, 2015 at 9:09 PM I'm listening to him right now and your words blend perfectly with his polyrhythms...

Yannette James November 17, 2015 at 6:54 PM VERY NICE AND DEEP

Cherl Dunn September 18, 2015 at 7:20 PM Black Beards ship will be be sailing in the under currents of the deepest part of the ocean the baring straights, within it's deepest trenches, just waiting for another ship to dare and come near to his haunting after dead haunting grounds beneath the briny deep, sorry I've been thinking about this all day, cheri

Bl Devnath September 8, 2015 at 2:24 PM When a true loving heart is pierced by one with a blade of deep bad sensational silent Passion, after that...then on the karma a poisonous snake may bud pellucid feed back. A beautiful expression of sensational passion of victimized heart beautifully adorned with acute matching colors. Loved always, my lovely *friend,bl
