Contemplating
Heart beat racing
I pace to and fro

My blood boiling
Fingers coiling
Time I have to go

Nostrils flaring
Eyeballs glaring
Seeing your demise

Temper rising
No compromising
You will have to die

bloodshot eyes
From the lies
You expressed to me

bulging veins
black tear stains
Soon I'll set you free

Hell accepting
Soul collecting
Yours paid in advance

No repenting
So relenting
With the Devil dance

I love how it's almost contradictory. Great wording! It adds to the feeling of the poem.

The short lines are nice.

Some constructive criticism, if you'd like. If not, just ignore the rest.

- "Time I have to go" is a forced rhyme. Notice how this really should read, "It's time for me to go," or, "This time I have to go," depending on the meaning you are going for. It reads almost as if you switched the words around into a strange syntax just to get the words to rhyme. Also, the rhymes are a bit basic. The best rhymes are loose and/or subtle.

- "black tear stains" is quite a cliche. For one, it's something that has been said over and over before (black tears, black stains, tear stains, etc.) in teenage-angst poetry. If you are going to say something said before, try saying it in a fresh way otherwise it can come off as boring. Poetry is about the economy of words. Each word should do as much as it can to create sensory images and feelings whilst keeping the readers attention. You don't want a reader to think, whilst reading a line in a poem, "I've heard this a million times before," do you?
