Acquired Taste by Nobody: 6:56pm On Nov 01, 2015
In my own head

Edges of my sanity

Crawling on a land that is starked barren

I don't realise I am to walk this pain alone

My heart surge for you

But here love doesn't beget love

My love in the desert of your heart

where you can't love me back

Even though you've seen how stupid I stalk



In my own head

I have chosen silence

How I choke on your beauty

Causing each day a sigh of sobness

I am sick of you

Whenever my heart fails

Your essence wouldn't let me stay dead

How can you not know...

...I am your undead?

You have messed up my artery

You have messed up my vein

functioning the same, one along another electrocuting my heart

You have taken me to the waters

You have taken me to realms unknown

How can you not hate me?

You chose silence, measured in my own dose

Causing insanity to my mind

When I am reading into your stare

And see what isn't there

when everything is drying up

the waters, the air and my will to fight

When I endure through to the barren surface

Hanging by a thread on your love

But just before I am air out

Could have sworn...
Your tear hit my cheek
Your hands cuddle my neck
Your vision repaired my heart
Your mouth rhythm my beat
Your lips plastered my face

Thinking maybe it was just a fraction Too Late

Or Is it?

In my own head

You would come to love me back

You av messed up my artery

You av messed up my vain

functioning the same, one along another electrocuting my heart

You av taken me to the waters

You av taken me to realms unknown

How can you not hate me?

when everything is drying up

the waters, the air and my will to fight

When I endure through to the barren surface

Hopelessly stil on your love

But just before I pass out

Could have sworn...
Your tear hit my cheek
Your hands cuddle my neck
Your vision repaired my heart
Your mouth rhythm my beat
Your lips plastered my face

Thinking maybe it was just a fraction Too Late

I love the coherence in ur piece. I will also advice you to work on your abbreviation. You wrote 'av' instead of 'have' and also wrote 'stil' instead of 'still'. I will advice you to run through the poem all over again. I must confess, I love the concept in this poem.
