Evade Me

Memories please

evade my body

leave this place

strip my brain

I see it everyday

over and over

I need to bathe

wash them away

 

I want to forget!

This regret

is like chains

squeezing my heart

dragging in my gut

just tear away

this sick skin

and rape them away

from within

 

Dirty, dirty

choke, choke

want to poke

around some more?

so what

it's okay

I'm a whore

it's done

it's over

get out

get off

I'm numb

no more

Very stirring.It has a wonderfully tragic tone.Just kinda grips your heart and doesn't let go.I like the way you ended it though,with that image of perfect embrace.

this poem reminds me of a song that goes...

"Lethe
Give me the drink of the fluid
That disintegrates
And lend me the sweet balm and blessing
Of forgetfulness, empty and strong

Hold me near, unravel the stars
As I speed through the heavens
Speed through the night
For you are my blade and my rope
Your are my
Lethe

In currents of cobalt
You storm through my heart
To sever, to puncture
The memories that burn
Let sweep through the arteries
In sharp stabs of pain
Your talonlike fingers to kill me again

Steal me, invade me and charge me again
For I burn and I shudder
Burn with each movement of

So, cleansed through a floodlight
I appear; reforged and renewed
Caressed by the sweet balm and blessing
Of forgetfulness, empty and strong
Lethe,
Hold me near, my one friend and guide
As I drown through your fingers
Drown through your love
For you are the life I hate
You are my
Lethe

Drag me down, in passionate sighs
With the ocean above me
And flames in my eyes
And grant me a life I can live
Without..."
