Awake in my tomb it is the pain that I relish
An already sad tale to tell and embellish
It is my love story, such as it is
It started with a blade, an unconditonal friend
Then a prescription for peace that had no end
Finally a woman that knew just how to pretend
It is my love story, such as it is.
First I played, licked it up, the blood, the cum
Swallowed the pills and her lies she told to have fun.
Against my better judgement I even laid out in the sun
It is my love story, such as it is.
Slowly things changed, but even I held out hope
Now I spend a hundred dollars a week buying dope
Alone and cutting just trying to cope
It is my love story, such as it is.
I tried to stop, but one fix feeds the fire
The blood, the tears, this burning desire
To fuck her hard and call her a liar
It is my love story, such as it is.
I'm tired now that I've failed them all
These tests of life, now I'm ready to fall
Into the abyss it is your name I will call
It is my love story, such as it is.

I like how you use the words "Such as it is" in your poem It adds to it in a way that tells one just how it is as you feel it.
You did a great job on this poem.

This is so heartfelt.. And so sad.. It's good though. I liked your rhyme scheme, it was good. And the way you repeated the last line really hit hard. Great write and thanks for entering, Good luck.

The innocent so taken
I hear you and so many today have begun against their better judgment and have fallen with those who drew you into their lair for they need more and to find a new person helps them buy their drugs . In this time you have written this piece I need to tell you you can walk away from it .You still have the desire to become you once again and live without this pain .You say it stops the pain when in reallity it feeds it . It makes the mind numb while it does its work and for each fix eats away from the mind .Get yourself into a rehab and when you come out you go to alcoholics annonymous and never stop going they have people that will help you i the tough times they will become the ones to set you free of this monster you are carrying within . I am here if you would like to talk and I can tell you stories of my nephew who on cocain has been near beat to death several times and if you dont choose help its the future you have ahead .Why choose to die when you can live please choose to live for the heart is capable of many loves imagine what it would be like to find this perfect love who is free of drugs and smiles all the time have children of your own . Talk to me

-This nightmare is becoming even more hellish
Awake in my tomb it is the pain that I relish
An already sad tale to tell and embellish
It is my love story, such as it is

Ohkay, so I just have to say that I LOVE your rhyme scheme in this poem :] It was just so. Wow. I don't even know. None of your rhyming seemed to be forced at all, which was great to read, and your words were just so raw and wow. I loved everything about this poem. I can see why it won so many trophies. I hope you're doing good, now =] Keep it up, you have a definite talent for writing. Thanks for entering

Very good. I especially like the repetition of the last lines in each stanza. Every time I read those words, it hit me harder, and deeper. Good job and good luck.
-
Great Rhyme Scheme, the flow isn't the smoothest, but in some stanzas it is a lot more smooth, but if you can find a way to straighten it out, that'd make it a lot better. It's a really sad poem.
-
i see 'emo' in it alot.
but i must admit it was good.
thanks for entering and good luck>3 -

Wonderful write! The emotion is very strong. The flow was good also. It ties in with the prompt very well. Thank you!
-
Thank you for entering my contest. This poem was interesting. I really enjoyed the lines "tried to stop, but one fix feeds the fire
The blood, the tears, this burning desire
To fuck her hard and call her a liar"
And i also enjoy the repition of the last line. I felt however that some of the rhymes were forced and comprimised the flow of the poem. Great write and good luck -
This was amazing. I.... I don't know what to say. It was intense and its flow was masterful. Searching for imperfections and there was none. It was brillant. Thank you for entering, Good luck in the contest.
