Cobalt Yellow

Cobalt Yellow

It's the feeling of your soul
Slowly decaying
And begging for mercy,
As you sell the last sliver of your heart.

It's the burning pit (of( emptiness) in your chest,
As you let him back in,
And the feeling of thick, stained nails
Raking across your forbidden skin. (prohibited, yellow tape) apple skin whoot whoot yellow

It's the smell of the moldy mattress,
The thick springs pressing into your familiar bruises (relook over too).  old apple shizz
Frigid air shrieks everything is wrong, (Frigid air denies the sin- implies you don't care it is wrong) sickly sweet air, cloying!,
Yet, you let him continue with his dirty deed. (skin and feeling and yellow) faceless, not human; stoneeee duhhh; the rape of sabine- abduction mind, heart, body

It's the deathly stillness of your body,(deathly= marble)
As you *surrender to ~his hulking mass.   war shit- inner battle with morality
His +sweaty (stench) infiltrates your nose, 
(Making you gag.) bone line, skeleton=death

It's his suffocating closeness,   (seige) starvation of hope; this is too obvious. aqui esta the siege of one espalda to two
As he forcefully makes your bodies conjoin.  ( combine personal feeling with allusions)
It's the feeling of utter violation
And the complete loss of control.

disorientation- cliff hanger ish

 how you feel as he leaves, hydra?, monstrosity, backs, heads, snake, medusa?- beginning, medusa's brother dude, gorgon, troll-y, 

Incorporate that the girl is young= forbidden, unripe apple, bells- church metonymy

*Succumb  ~that +rotting gags add reluctance  -allusion to shakespeare's beast with two backs, 
incorporate two sides, activeness 
in first two stanzas set up big bright light (mood?), sombras, beneath lies something dark, silhouette- monstrosity man to monster

  1. I absolutely love this. Very much. You touched on all the right things. My suggestion is to make each stanza focus on just one feeling.
    Like:
    Stanza 1: Focus either on the begging for mercy or the selling of your heart...

    Stanza 2: Focus on the feeling or on the forbidden skin/violation...

    Stanza 3: The mattress or the air...

    Stanza 4: The stillness or the stench...

    Stanza 5: I like the last one as a mixture of everything. :)
