Infliction Poems - Poems about Infliction

Silence breeds a droning bunch, a blackened kettle, a stolen lunch. The dismal lead while sheep give chase, a silent echo, a spoofed embrace. Abandoned youth viewed once again, a manifest of mice, not men. Hypocrites now preach the word, murdered lines and vision blurred. Despair entangles a shallow light, disavowed, this tale they write. A painted faux becomes the rage, dyed and bleached on...

I am inflicted with blue eyes and golden hair Wrapped in a fair skinned temper sure to go nowhere I'll resist her tempting smile - 'least I say I will Then I'll tremble and say "please"- 'til I get my fill I was born pure masculine - warrior through and through She was born to conquer - now what's...

The burning sensation of lust, Red seeping from her core. Her shattered heart, Followed by shattered tears. The anger gliding across her wrist, Her solution still remains. Yearning to lead a normal life, Longing to feel the pain. The numbness shortening her life, The guilt reminding her of death. Her self-infliction, Her only solution. "Get away!", she screams in her head, Why can't she utter those words, The fault...

I must admit dear, evil survives within my head, Monsters in the corner all painted shades of red. They walk among us yet you'd never know they're here, Spirits in the wind leaving whispers in our ears. Screams ringing in the darkness forever leading us astray, Replacing all our colored memories and fading them to grey. Laughter all around but we are alone, Strangers in this house but we're without...

I try my hardest to defend myself; Yet I can’t escape the violence. No matter how hard I try to impress you; My efforts are...

Do what that person did to you Amplified Take out that pain and anger until the score is Tied But does that really make it even When...

Summer’s sweetness lies upon the shores of tomorrow As today’s bitterness is cast upon the craggy jettison Left to die is the presence of torment and sorrow As the only cure is this symbolic medicine As I stand on this shore now daydreaming My eyes have then focused on the view While my heart’s inside screaming I can’t get my mind off...
