Beautiful Tragedies - Options Contest

Hello everyone and welcome to my contest, this is the fourth one I've done. I have tons of options to choose from and yes, I do allow prewrites.

I want deep, raw emotion from your poetry. I want sad, angry, dark, or even somewhat happy poems. I just want so much emotion that it will fill me up and burst!

Rules:
1. No net speak, no all caps, and no tYpIng LyKe DiS
2. Try to use proper grammer and spelling
3. No special graphics in your poem, you can use a picture but only those I provide and if it's your option.
4. No emo cliche's, I don't mind suicide and things like that but make them real and tasteful.
5. No erotica, I can deal with sex in the poem, but this is not an erotica contest.
6. Place the option number in your notes
7. Have fun!!

The poem can rhyme or not, I prefer both.

Also, if you wish to use more than one option, that is perfectly fine, I've had people do this before.

Options!!!

Option 1 - Choose a song title, use it as your title and craft a poem from it.

Deciever of Fools
Dark Wings
Hand of Sorrow
Truth Beneath The Rose
Field of Innocence
Forever Gone, Forever You
Lucifer's Angel
Beautiful Tragedy

Option 2 - Use a picture provided and make a poem about it.
