    It was always interesting talking with you because I could feel
    All the lies seething from your skin
    inch by inch the lies piled up
    inch by inch the clothing came off
    And they would fuck you.

    You weren't a powerful person and you knew it
    So you would suck cock
    Fuck cock
    Anything to get a step up
    To make them want you
    And all the power that you were lacking

    Your words meant so much to me
    And I hate you for it.
    I hate you for allowing me to think for one second
    It was okay to let someone be there
    To think for one second that another person could understand
    I forgot all about the rage that filled my mind
    The depression that drown my brain in tears I refused to cry
    I felt good.
    You felt good.
    Lies feel good.

    You liar.

    I was a fool to think for one second truth could feel so welcoming
    Or that you could speak truth with your words.

    I'm glad I never fucked you
    Never gave you the satisfaction of complete control.
    It wasn't until I realized what you were
    That I was able to shut you off.

    Your voice and my thoughts are on different wavelengths now
    I don't speak unless spoken to
    I won't move unless it's required
    I'm just stalking my prey.
    My prey is just talking.

    The more you talk
    The more I want to destroy you
    So I listen and wait.

    Hmmm, I really like the line "All the lies seething from your skin" it's a great image. I feel, however, that your poem lives in the last few stanzas.

    "I don't speak unless spoken to
    I won't move unless it's required
    I'm just stalking my prey.
    My prey is just talking.

    The more you talk
    The more I want to destroy you
    So I listen and wait."

    This part is so perfect. It's so straight to the point...no witticisms or pretty language. It's raw. It's great. I think you have a lot of other great lines too, but also a bit that doesn't need to be there. I really liked the repetition of
    "I felt good.
    You felt good.
    Lies feel good."
    It just rolled off of the tongue. Overall I think it's another powerful piece, but I would suggest a little bit of editing once the emotion isn't clouding your brain so much. Anger can lead to overly graphic poems. [img]smile.gif[/img] Hang in there Killa

    It reads much smoother now. I think it's a much stronger piece with the edits you have made. It still has a raw edge which is great, I had hoped you would be able to keep that through the edits. The end is still my favorite. Such a powerful way to end the poem.
