AN- Be honest...how lame is this?

I realize how uneven the styles of poetry are, but at least I made one that rhymes. Most of my poems don't rhyme.


"How lovely you are; so lovely in my straightjacket, though the bloodstains do clash with your lipstick. No matter…You are beautiful."

~Johnny "Nny" C. (JTHM)

I can see your tears.

Oh, they do enchant me in such a way.

How bittersweet they are.

Maybe, just maybe, you'll live another day.

I can see your fears.

Yes, they make me smile oh so much.

How bittersweet they are.

I bet you'll cringe from just my touch.

I can see your despair;

The feeling of hatred and desperation.

How bittersweet it is.

So bittersweet indeed…

If I kiss your cheeks right now,

Will I taste your desperation?

If I kiss your cheeks right now,

Will I taste my domination?

If I kiss your lips right now,

Will they be bittersweet, too?

If I take this blade across your throat

And spill your blood across the floor,

Will I see the promises that you swore?

Will I feel the things that you abhor?

I'll try.

I can see your lips.

Oh, how they enchant me in such a way.

How bittersweet they are,

Reddened with your despair today.

Today, I can taste your bittersweet internal passions.

I can taste your blood, your hate, your anger.

I can taste your lips.

I see your eyes.

Oh, they are so blank, I can't even see myself.

How bitter…
