Pointless Denial by ~WolfGirlKana:iconWolfGirlKana:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Transgressive > Fixed


You tell me what you need
You tell me what you want
You need to see me bleed
To be your ghost that haunts

But you don't want me, you don't need me
I'm just convenient for you
You don't love me, you don't hate me
I'm just someone to use

I know that I'm worthless
I'm useless 'til I'm used
I don't care if you're ruthless
I don't care if I'm abused

You're desperate from release
From this sick world's assault
Your desire has increased
I know it's not your fault

But you can't want me, you can't need me
I'm just a crutch for you
You can't love me, you can't hate me
And I just can't refuse

You're terrified and broken
And that is why you grieve
I'll close what's been opened
And throw away the key

I know what you crave
I know what you need
I can be a slave
For you, I will bleed

You think you want me, think you need me
I'm becoming more to you
Think you love me, think you hate me
It's becoming something new

I will be your shelter
I will be your shroud
Keep you from the altar
Protect you from the crowd

Guard you from the harm
I am always here
I keep you safe and warm
And so you keep me near

Pretend you don't want me, you don't need me
I don't mean a thing to you
Pretend you don't love me, you don't hate me
But these eyes see straight through

Exquisite burning
Passionately voracious
I know you're yearning
Stubbornly tenacious

Tear me down to nothing
Before you I shall kneel
If that if what you're wanting
I shall be your meal

You know you want me, know you need me
Physically, if nothing else
Know you love me, know you hate me
Because I save you from yourself

So love, hate, cherish, or abuse me
Use your animosity to kill
I bend to the power of your ferocity
And you know I always will

This is a sort of collaboration poem between myself and my good friend :iconhalf-blind:. Basically, I took his words and the sense of emotion I got from them and turned them into a poem, which I read back to him and he helped me refine.

Yes, it is about an actual person. Do NOT take this at face value, trust me. Look deeper and, if you can ascertain the true meaning, I commend you on your intuition.

I was wondering when you would submit this... I do love this poem. If you'll allow me to be so bold, I'd like to see if I could make a song of it.

Do keep up the good work, mon petit loup.

I'm bisexual. I'm pagan. I'm certifiably insane, and have the papers to prove it. I also have lots and lots of shiny weapons, and the skill to use them. Still want to call me an immoral, disgusting heathen? ...Didn't fucking think so. Eat lemons and die.

wow, simply wow. Do you have any poetry tips fpr me

Go with the flow, I guess. You don't have to rhyme; sometimes it's better not to. If you spend half of the time writing your poem looking for words that fit into a rhyme scheme, it can come out sounding forced. Other than that, I'd tell you to simply write with your heart. Let your emotions form their own words for you.

ok, I have been trying to do that, but rhymeing just comes natural. I know what you mean though, some of my stuff does sound forced.thanks
