This is a poem that I've had a hard time with. I love it, but will others too?
I could feel your teeth
Sink into my soft flesh
As your hands tightly
Griped my throat

The faces of the others
Flashed before me
Dead bodies floating on a lake
Red all around

I could feel the blood
Relinquish my body
The tears rolled down my cheeks
As my eyes turned ice blue

Obscurity began to take me
Allowing memories to play over in my mind
The memories of what lay behind me
And the possibilities of what is ahead

But your demonic eyes watch me in my thoughts
With your dark smile lurking before me
Enigmatic and insidious
One to blend truth with lies

The secrets you have kept masks your brutality
Your mistress has become your slave
I've become dead in you
Held to you by broken promises and untold love

Your presence rots on my mind
The echoing voices drive me insane
We are all the other has
One is nothing without the other

What could separate me from you
Not even you tearing out my heart
Or ripping it to shreads
Pale skin against the darkness

You never wanted it to come to this
Neither of us knew what to do
But here we are at the end
And there is no more to be said
