They tease and compel Devouring into my ill eyes Lurking beneath the wilting yellow Murky black blends in with the night She taunts in the lightness of the day
This bed dips a bit lower every day In disturbed curiosity and jealousy Goading a reaction of plea Staring in unadulterated penance Wellness improving with each interaction
Greedy to drink in the color Eyes feast upon them Dancing slyly in sync Dripping in need and want One waits to dance in my head
These chains are finally unlocked Feet find purchase of the cold flat floor Only exuberating the ugly drug To tear the flesh of yellow off her skin All the while, in a manic spree of glee
This is for my final project in my class. It is based off The Yellow Wallpaper by Gilman. I would appreciate any critiques on it and any comments even if you have not read it before. Thanks!
