More Poetry From The Archives

I found another old poem that just about screamed (literally) to be re-written. The original was written in the Fall of 2006, after my first introduction to Elfen Lied. It's a very violent anime, the likes of which will never make it review-worthy in this blog, but it nonetheless made an interesting source of, in a twisted use of the word, "inspiration" for the following piece.


Unfathomable (revised 11 29 2009)

inspire my rage
tear me from the inside out

inspire my rage
and burn the remains

inspire my rage
then leave the ashes behind

but don't turn around

inspire my rage
then walk away
don't look back

don't ever look back

no
please
don't

go away
leave now
turn back
turn back

please
please
turn back

I said leave!

too late now
I warned you
I begged you

but it's too late now!

watch the expression on my face
witness the unfathomable hate
as all that is left of me
destroys everything you are
