Beau
[This is not about me.
This is about the one
I don't want to be.]
Hatred and lust
Burying in their bottomless gut
Barely breathing battered soul
In the esurient embrace of a starving hole
Alone in emptiness
Dying without a trace
Suffocation and hunger blinding words
Asking them unrelenting shards
To sink deep and tell
The seething story of a silent hell
That embodied this virgin life
Romancing the edge of a rusting knife
Letting it pierce steady and slow
Waiting for death to seek its beau.

I was thinking of writing an "About me" here when these lines started coming to my mind. I write such weird things when I start feeling the way I don't want to, when I start being the way I don't want to be, those lines in [] were just a reminder for myself that I would never want to hurt myself when I am in my usual sane state of my mind. No doubt they distract the normal flow of emotions in this poem, so I kept them apart. I wish there were some way in which only I could see the intro and other readers could not. On the other hand, maybe, leaving it as it is would portray the dilemma that cripples my mind very often.
esurient, i think, stands for greed that is fuelled by hunger. i added it for a euphonic effect as well. Blame it on my GRE preps, I have learnt some really baffling words lol.
Thanks for the constructive criticism!

Glad you liked the beginning, i was in two minds whether to keep it or lose it.
