Love Poem: Sweet Suicide

Sweet Suicide

You are poison to any woman
Wrecking havoc on her life
After you sire her soul with your razor sharp fangs
She will now be an immortal being
That eternally belongs to you
Despite the appearance of freedom
There is no escape from your dungeon
For you grip her tightly by your leash
Not because you want her to love
But so she will remain yours
For once a feminine spirit has 
The misfortune to cross your path
She becomes like a zombie
She is trapped in the abyss
Where you have been roaming 
Since the beginning of your existence
You are unable to escape and pull yourself out
So you are determined to acquire as many visitors
As you can to share your misery with 
Then they too start to sink deeper into this web of darkness
One by one like dominos they 
Plunge deeper and deeper into the abyss
Though you see your loved ones drowning
You will not set them free
The ones who love you are choking
On the tears that they have cried
Because of the pain you 
Have tormented them with
Many who loved you reached out their hand
And tried to help you climb out of your entrapment 
But, you unleashed your monster
Making them regret every attempt to rescue you
That is why when anyone catches a glimpse of you
Out of the corner of their eye 
They should vamoose at once
Because loving you will never bring them bliss
It is only a sweet suicide to their heart
