Contest Entry for 'Stormy's Poetry Newsletter Contest' // ~Awarded 1st place~
Ever since I met you,
my world has been
stained
red.

Faces,
and
voices,
automatically
labeled
'foes.'

The pain
in my heart,
a beacon
to
predators

Shouting,

'This woman
has fallen
for the
deceitful.

This woman
is uncertain,
and
naïve.

This woman
is waiting,
on wits end,
for arms—

any
arms


that
won't
release.'


This voice,
this beacon,
will surely be
the end of
me
.

For,
as soon as
this announcement
is made,

the blood-thirsty
descend

swaddled
in the
golden-wrappings
of
love.

Then...

I
am
torn
to
p
i
e
c
e
s

.
