Bloody Valentine
I mean, it's short... but not sweet. I don't exactly know what this is, and the content of this poem does not reflect my actual feelings toward love and loss. I just started writing and it got dark. My bad!
hold on to me with all of you. don't let me down, don't make me blue. don't make me cry, for if you do, i'll slit your neck

I think about writing more than I write, but call myself a writer as opposed to a thinker.

Watch is 5 letters, but you might as well break more rules since this isn’t a sweet love poem. I quite enjoyed it! 🔪
Hehehehe I love all things dark and blood. This was right up my alley. I loved it so much!
Wow. Dark, and really well done.
Wow, very dark indeed. I’m feeling a bit sick! But the rhyme scheme was so cool to see unfold. I like how the speaker feels unhinged, but in a real way, like a fugue state of some kind.
Straight out of a suspenseful tale with a seductive woman, yet it's incredibly melodious to peruse! Exceptional work!
Such versatility you show, this is so vey opposite from the acrostic you posted. Love both. Way to embrace that bit of dark side!
Hell yeah 🩸
😳 That’s one bloody valentine! Right out of a thriller with a femme fatale, but it’s so musical to read! Great job!
Extremely Horrific and Beautiful 🥹‼️
Ahhhh!!! This was epic 😱
Oh damn, Ashley! I don't really care where this came from - it's utterly fantastic and potentially a TS in my opinion! I loved how dark this got - almost grotesquely so! haha! Totally down with this!
