Poem Commentary

Written for a friend who's girlfriend left him for some guy she had just met.

I Offer These Gifts

I stand before you,
bleeding and dying.
I stand here to offer my heart,
which I carved out of my chest.
I offer you each lung for every lie I ever told.
I sway side to side as I offer you my organs one by one.
It is what you deserve after all the pain I put you through.
Now I stand before you,
a hallow corpse,
filled with nothing but pain and sorrow.
It is time now for my last gift to you.
I offer you the blood that flows from my wounds.
“I hope you make it last” I say as I leave the gift that you would have cherished alive.
I leave you with my mutilated corpse and a head full of nightmarish memories.

The last line is a little off flow, but the rest of it was very nicely written. It's describing such guilt and the offering of ones life. Brilliantly written.

fantastically morbid and oh so dark.....very very good doll.....loved it.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
