his callous smile

His callous smile, once intriguing,

bolts of lightning makes me shiver

threatening my knees to quiver.

Do not betray inner feeling.

He holds my life, unbelieving,

for a moment. I stow away,

a single step, I underplay.

Hide in shadows, stifling screaming

here in the dark, my heart bleeding

until you take the pain away.

I submitted this poem as part of the Decima Contest over at Poetic Asides, but I didn’t win. I still like the poem, but have a look at the winners. They’re pretty awesome.
