Shackled to the Guillotine
Of unnecessary
Emotion.
The knife above my neck
Dangles precariously
But securely,
Unaware of my affection.
The rope is in my hand.
Am I strong enough
To hold off
The inevitable?
Is it worth the effort?
All it takes is
One slip
For you to
Kill me.

duddle146over 17 years agoTread carefully ~ our relationship is in jeopardy ~ all it takes is one slip to destroy it. Nicely illustrated with a drawing of a Guillotine. In the hurt of reality lurks an ever present danger.
f-cynyrover 18 years agoi found the poem stirring and quite interesting, that unnecessary emotions are such a threat, and . i also liked the reflective separation of self, questioning is it worth it. . only you can answer that for your self. nice drawing ,complimented the poem well.
Faustienneover 18 years agoGreat poem! Very nice dark mood. Like the drawing, too.
(To previous commenter: psst, poems doesn't usually have sequels...)
