Question:Unasked

I wanted morning to come again
They are all around
The demons whose eyes are men
And where ebony blood is found

The darkness that beseeches them
To come closer to my bed
Hurts me like a thorny stem
And covers me in red

I can’t control the urge to hate
Yet I wallow through in pain
To my bones they lacerate
Sending writhe strait through my brain

I fight against all frayed touch
Melting in a bad way
They force me into unyielding clutch
Working me like clay

Morning comes but I don’t notice
My eyes open still are blank
Upon my lips an unfair kiss
Robbed like an unguarded bank

Nothing you do to hurt me
Will ever fully compare
To the agony and angst that taught
My body to go nowhere

Here I lay alone at last
No demons here will follow
For now the bugs and dirt alone
Will carve my body hollow

It sounds like the words of a rape victim who's now dead. Gruesome but that's what I get from it.

Sexual abuse and suicide?

definitely death, probably suicide

It's about rape.

a girl gettin ra pe d????????

wow. That is pretty intriguing when you really look at it. On the surface, Im expecting you to get alot of "emo" comments...but if "emo" is noted as a "flaw", and you mean what you say, flaws can be beautiful. I like your imagery and wording...i dont think its about suicide or death....but i am afraid to guess specifically. Something deep seeded.

It's a good poem but not my type...

vampires..? gawd....you are a beastly poet!

I would guess rape. Your poem was fairly clear about pain and death.

i think rape n suicide! idk but plz tell
god bless

Sounds like a rape victim who gets killed.
Possibly a girl who kills herself because of the demons in her head, from possibly from a x-bf or something?

Its alright, way to dark for my taste.

idk houston?

This poem is about rape and someone dyeing yes, but the real question is why the poet chose these words. What is her story?That story I'm guessing, Is about a girl who is trying to forget something that happened to her. Maybe rape or molestation, only you know Houston. Maybe she is trying to tell us that she still can feel the "demons" touching her even as she dies.

Your significant other? I'm not saying this is representative of your actual relationship but it could be representative of your hardships with him?

EDIT: Wow, my idea was quite different from the others.
