Is This Okay? Poem by Effie Yalena Steyn

Is This Okay?

Rating: 4.6


Dark like black like hell, not coming back, stares like knives, like poison darts in my heart, squeezed so tight like lovers first night
with pain pain pain pleasure is absent. (Probably at the doctors.)
Nights so long and tears so dry, with high high hopes you pass me by. Silicone people in hatrid bids, a loveless union we aim to rid from our special world, the one where we rule, the one we laugh and live and love in school. Tepid waters of fluent fools, escape the darkness and I'll be here.
I hate everyone apart from you, in my fragile mind they are all not true, I love your way with a funny smile, an eyebrow raised about half a mile.
Everyone... apart from you.

Beautiful poem but I think the title and ending ruin it a bit.
