The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

hold your hands

and close your lips,

you don't want them to hear

 

just shut your eyes

and dream it sweet.

it'll soon to be over dear

 

your skin so soft

your shape so perfect,

fills me with sour hate

 

no more talk

we must start now,

before it is too late

 

feel the sting

and let it bleed,

i smile at my art

 

would you stop moving

you're wasting time,

i must finish what i start

 

i see terror

behind your eyes,

feel you growing weak

 

below,

there's crimson,

not yet have i reached my peak

...

 

my legs are shaking

going limp,

have you yet to see

 

it wasn't you

whose blood i spilled,

it all belonged to me

Very unusual viewpoint and extremely arresting images. Great job with drawing the reader in. I greatly enjoyed the twist ending too, it makes it necessary to go back and re-read the poem with this new perspective. It's so interesting how many different ways things can be taken.

 

Not only the idea of the last line, but I thought the syllables themselves read very well too. I liked this simple structure and thought it read well and the straightforward approach made the ending must stronger. Nicely done. ^_^

 

Only one suggestion, did you mean for the last line of the second stanza to be: "it'll soon be over dear" rather than "to be over"?
