brought back to life by the dead man's hand

There's this terrible feeling,
Quite interesting, really,
For I've been fooled that solitude
Could bring a sense of peace
Those wicked liars, what they
Have done to me! In these hours
I feel an ache in my spine,
In my hands I feel them tremble
I cannot sit by the fire for a
Moment longer, those embers,
They have each other to hold close,
But I, no one to dance in my wake,
Except the bitter cold of my heart,
I have grown to detest my reflection,
What must I do to cure myself?

Ah, a solution to my very problem
For by my trembling hand I can
Create, I can master, I can fabricate
Life itself as if I am a god! Yes,
Only now will I have a hand to hold,
A beautiful heart to perfectly mold,
She…
She will be the being to save me,
As I too, will save her,
And bring her forth into this world,
She will thank me and love me ever
So dearly and the wicked will shiver
At my power, at my love, at my
Ability to control!
I wait for the signal, I thrill at the buzz,
I laugh in disbelief
As she twitches on the table—
Alive!

gen! these are amazinggg!! i love love loveee the theme (Frankenstein is one of my favorite books hehe) :0

gen this is so so wonderful

This isn’t what I thought would happen
This is not exactly what I wanted
But what did I want?
I can tell you, if you’d listen
Company, love, praise
Fear, obedience, worship
But my lover always has this
Far off look in her eyes
As if there's no way
I could keep her
And the wicked continue
To pry and mock endlessly
They say the life I created is counterfeit
They say my life is one to be pitied
They say her life will end up like the rest
How dare they!
I will show them!
Regret will bind their hearts so tight
Suffocation will be their lasting bliss
Who am I to celebrate revenge?
Yet who am I to sit idle?
Destruction brings answers, kindness brings silence
They bring pitchforks and shout “Monster!”
If that is what they want, then let it be
Monster
Monster
Her
Or
Me

@inksthewriter @AresFig thank you guys so much! I know the poems aren't necessarily polished but I am really enjoying this!! Glad you guys are enjoying as well <3

With a flicker of a match
And a canister of gas
Everything will soon be over
This place is cursed,
I curse the people, too
For all this anger they brought me to
For my creation, I tried
To make her truly mine
But she is haunted
Her parts were from those I’ve hurt
Perhaps this is our appalling punishment
So I must destroy myself, everyone too
And rid this place
Of what it’s come to
They wanted a monster
And their lips were right
I burn, everything burns
And I won’t be here
As they cheer while I die
