Trever Webb Poet Rhyme

Burn It, Or Take the Ride

The night, she consumes me, leaving nothing left, 
I am not returning home tonight, I am being kept,
surely not against my will, it's wonderful out here,
she speaks in a tone: soft, direct, sincere.

  You exhumed me, and tied me to a post,
the things we love will hurt us the most,
still you are my drug, showing me things I fail to see,
but like any drug, you will be the death of me.

  Rage runs through me, I deem you my everything,
from the stroke of my pen, to the songs I sing,
from the words I write, to the reason I breathe,
you are an anchor for my sanity...

  Pain subdues me, leaving me helpless inside,
I'm aware of what it takes to swallow my pride,
so here I am, against this post with arms tied,
you bought the ticket, either Burn It, Or Take The Ride.

Theresa Johnston July 29, 2012 at 5:59 PM Lovely and dark metaphors. Just the way I like it. You leave me wanting to know more about your experience that brought forward this beautiful heart-wrenching work. Or, maybe it leaves me wanting to more about me and why it draws me in. Keep up the great work!

Clay Young Jr. July 29, 2012 at 5:08 PM This is amazing. You're really growing as an artist. The only suggestion I have is changing one line a little. The "like any drug, you will eventually kill me" I think it would flow better if it was "like any drug, you will be the death of me" But that's just my opinion. This is a great work. I think it could end up being a featured poem on this site. Trever Webb July 29, 2012 at 5:25 PM Nice!! I was actually trying to think of some other way of saying that, but I was pretty upset, so I gave up quickly, consider it done! Thanks dude! That really means alot!
