    The Gallows of Destructive Love
    The Gallows of Destructive Love


    It is a premature masturbation

    An error in believing that your grip was stronger than my weakening will

    Now that you have let the fingers of the noose loosen

    I fall with pieces of my dignity left at the gallows floor

    Escape is bittersweet for neither will survive

    I die quickly within

    And you are left to gasp with severed breath,

    A slow death of rotting within the corpse of your mind

    Jeez, Louise, Soul man, you'd give H.P. Lovecraft goosebumps with this piece.

    Pain is what I feel when reading this. True feelings are portrayed! Nicely done!

    This write was an oddity for me, no music playing / no one around or a troubled heart beating out the reason and it was written in a period of 15 minutes,,, one of those that I read and felt as if someone else had penned it in blood. Thank you for reading!

    Truly creates a pensive mood. The metaphors stengthen the image you create, very good submission

    Sometimes love can be painful and actions unexpected and though love dies a little it still remains forever inside as a part of us. Thank you.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
