Description Your hands danced across my skin
Like spiders
Drifting quickly over my arms
Along my stomach
And circling around my neck
They moved so fast
Never resting on the same place twice
Leaving me yearning for your touch again

You left your words with me
Like graffiti across my mind
So even now
As I sit alone
All I can hear is the echo of my thoughts
Hidden beneath the strong syllables
You spoke so easily

Your kisses burned my flesh
Like a fire held deep within
They left me always wanting more
But I was foolish
Now all that I can see
When my eyes drift to the mirror
Are the blisters upon my face
That will become tell tale scars
Whispering my secrets to strangers

This is why I will always remember you
You fed me your simple poison
Corrupting my heart with each drop
You were my one addiction
But you disappeared
Leaving me empty
Searching for something better
To silence my longing
For your sinister beauty

This is the best one I've read by you so far. I really liked the last stanza and your playful use of rhythm (were you trying, or did it just come out that way?).

hey i liked this, its mix of sensual and doomed emotions, the way u take us from seduction to lonilness and even beyond into a subtle horror.. but still never lose focus on whats real.
