Inhibited Criminal
July 3, 2014
Behind these eyes lies an ocean of blood and loathing
Behind these eyes stands the warrior who has borne the slaughtering
Behind these eyes lives a vine, scathed and torn into into tiny shreddings
For I have survived the tug of war
And run vast distances in the battlefield
For I have abandoned a chain of broken hearts' strands
And left a trail of teardrops in the sand
For I have buried treasures that are too hard to find
Treasures of vengeance and my peace of mind
Just to fill the gaps in the bowels of your heart
For I have died and lived a thousand times
And craved to discover your soul's mines
Where behind these eyes, my eyes
Appear my innocence and purity
Not my crimes

It seems as if the person who is speaking is trapped in his own mind. Very intriguing as a inhibited or locked up criminal! You made me think and I like that. Keep writing!

This was heartbreaking and beautiful. I hope you continue to write, and I will read anything you write, for I have to say that in just reading this poem, I can see you have an amazing gift.
