Strangulation (poem)

[bamako91305]

I try to crush it
To murder the hope
that I possess
That you will someday
Say that you
Yes, that you, in fact
Love me
As I love you
I struggle to
Strangle the life
Out of this foolish hope
To rid the world
(mostly myself)
Of it
To forget how much
I need you
And how I depend on you
To forget how
You will never love me
I would do anything
To hear you say
That you love me
And that you want nothing more
Than to be with me
And to hold me in your arms forever
On this I think
As I strangle the life
Out of...
No.
It is not the hope I have killed
Not the hope that I have strangled the life out of
It is you
My one and only love
I have killed you
Oh my darling
I'm so sorry
My hands
Forever stained with your blood
And my tears
Your neck and your lips!
Cold, bruised, and dead
Both of which I kissed and cried into
During our beautiful nights of passion
Your lips shall never utter my name again
As they did so sweetly in the darkness
As we loved each other
All of this I killed
In my attempt to kill
Hope.

Mmm, I like it. <3 Full of emotion. I read a poem similar in English last year, but I cannot think of the name or author. Errily similar, in fact.

For clarification, everyone, strangulation is a word. =P

Haha, yes it is. As is strangulating.
