"Cadaver"

PenguinPoetess

They hold my spirit still 

Forcing me to stare 

At my own corpse

Clutching all innocence which was left 

Sharing my soul 

Offering it to the devil 

They possess me 

Forcing me to watch as they tear apart my skin 

Knives and blades slicing in 

The pain in my chest is a burden I endure 

Delving into a Feeling which shall be no more 

As my body becomes a facade 

Which they pull and rip apart 

I realize 

This type of love is an art

    Your poem is quite graphic, but it fits. Your writing is well thought out, fluid, building up to a surprise ending: "This type of love is an art". It made me wonder, who is "They"?

      "They" are the people which allow you to believe they love you when in fact they're ripping you apart as you fall in love with them.
