Definitions

This poem describes all the emotions, feelings, beliefs, and actions I have felt in the course of relationships. Not only relationships but in love and life in general;

Kill- A permanent excuse for living.
Torture- Being crucified for our mistakes.
Murder- Blood from a broken heart.
Die- Lifeless in the soul.

Black horizon wakes me up
to the dawn of a glorious Hell.

Revenge- The message burning in my eyes.
Self-Pity- The only reason I'm alive.
Emotions- Chaos belittling my crooked spine.
Limited Independence- Crowded is the fickle mind.

Drawing me away from love
to a home where there is fire.

Reliance- In trust I seek but blind.
Insanity- Success revealed as failure.
Heartless- Throwing their flame back to their death.
Dependence- No life echoed in my shell.

A man in his years of darkness,
to a woman who ruined each day.

Superiority- One eye over God.
Inferiority- Uncomfortable in my own skin.
Defiance- Tired of being robbed.
Fight- Taking a stand for freedom.

We are living with a complex
of confused facts and mind written terror.

Terror- the fiend that lives and sleeps in me.
Humanity- Masked kindness behind the terror.
Infatuation- Poison that drives one to murder.
Birth- Unforgiving death released from the mother's womb.

What has become of all God's children
when destruction rules creative minds?
Commitment- An issue blinded by lust.
Sociology- An A from mingling, a F for development.
Catch-22- Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Reality- Lost in the minds of the twisted.

When will the drama end,
time is walking the hides of sin.

Hallucinations- Real faces in deluded minds.
Death- Daylight blinded by darkness.
Love- Nonexistence within the battered soul.
Miscellaneous- Scattered brains condemned.

Still adrift with all life dismissed,
waiting above all for a forward kiss.

Communism- Global war crossing the American border.
Immigration- What seems safe renders hate.
Politicians- Nothing but lies heard over and over again.
Coincidence- An American citizen kills another.

Face upon face forging lies we'll be saved
but shorter and shorter don the end of our days.

Frustration- Watching empires tumble before my eyes.
Agitation- Fear of becoming a human statistic.
Revolution- War abroad, will our end be soon?
Evolution- Growth destroyed by human blood.

Overloaded mind reducing the brain to water,
as exploding facts trigger attacks on those who produce the slaughter.

Racism- Hate for self disguised by a chosen scapegoat.
Ignorance- stupidity developed since birth.
Hypocrisy- Unaware of the faults manifested in oneself.
Pomposity- Fantasy of being superman.

The human race dissolves in time
through the idiosyncrasies of all mankind.

Compromise- Negotiations that never follow through.
Contradiction- Truth covered by human lies.
Explanation- Tricked to believe the lies are true.
Exasperation- We are tired, the world shall end.

Darkness dominates the daylight skies
Is this a sign that human life will die?

Sadistic- empathy disappears into a flooded pool of nightmares.
Sarcasm- Passing off horror as pleasant dreams.
Possession- Obsession for gloom, punishment, death.
Mention- Talk of someone who perished along the way.

For those who remain alive and present, victims of today,
cherish the day your time has come for God to take you away.

Argumentative- As the brain explodes demise looms closer.
Decisive- A made up mind, to live, to die, to breathe again.
Destination- Controlled fate handed from the God of faith.
Implantation- My final resting place.

And so I stay in this fateful place, planned by enemies that breathe,
if only I could turn back time, I would live to see them bleed.
