Emo Appetizer

Ill burn you, To the ground. Let the vapors gasp in empty airs around you, And suck into themselves until nothing is left to drip across these acres of empty soil. I'll tear you from the very skin aching for leave from the sinew drenched upon your bones. Frequencies of follicles, a fallacy facade. Faking. F'd you into the floor. Foment you in flames until remnants are but memories, blistering in dust particles, hovered in sunbeams, hanging through naked windowpanes, planked perpendicular against wooden floors, never to be seen again until memory chances you in a whim.

This poem is pure fire. The intensity, the violence, the burning rage--it’s impossible to look away. You’ve captured the force of emotion so vividly, the feeling of being torn apart, then left with only memories suspended in the aftermath.

Thank you, for reading, Alesia, growing up in 90s/early 2000s had some culturally upsetting music, though I feel like considering the world now we need an emo-revival.

Very in your face, powerful and clenching tension in every phrase. Xo

I freaking love the gothic emo imagery in your poem. It's deliciously dark and angry. Absolutely brillant write and too many fantastic lines to mention.
