A Thousand Years of Pain

Hidden deep within myself
Such fragile ways of living
Picking at the pieces that remain
Such a tormented past of pain
Deflecting heavens light with these mirrors
Inside, as dark as my blackened heart

A thousand years of silence broke me in two
Spiraling further into your hell
All this hate in your eyes
Once again you cut me open
This life of mine comes crashing down before me

Dragged to the edge and thrown away
Falling further down your path of destruction
You killed me
Killed everything that was inside of me
Left me with nothing
Kissed the rose and walked away
You live another day

    "Kissed the rose and walked away

    Really interesting way to end this.

    Wow... this was internally the darkess, self-afflicting piece I've read in a while. It sucks the joy right out of you... which I'm sure was your intention and so, well done.

    Hmm, the following is my personal opinion.

    I think that this was very much cliche' to the age old emo poetry that say, "Dark like my blackened heart." I see what you're doing, but find a different metaphor, that is, well, a bit more poetic. I would have worked for me better if it where something like, "Dark; like an eclipsed sun," or "Dark like my shady soul." But in the end, it's poetry. And not all poetry appeals to every person.

    A part of thew poem I DID like, however, was,
    "Kissed the rose and walked away
    You live another day"
    I enjoyed that part, because the rose is always symbolizing something, and it lets the reader fill in for his/herself which rose it is, and what it means.

    Keep up the writing.

    =)

    coming to this poem first thing this morning, I can understand the sad emotions you have written here, Chris. You've expressed this well by a series of metaphors that this poem may be felt in reading by touching on the senses...and I wish so much it were different for you.

    if it's any consolation, I'm glad you re-appeared in my AP life!

    Jo

    that was deep and emotion. i thought this one rocked.

    Dragged to the edge and thrown away
    Falling further down your path of destruction
    You killed me
    Killed everything that was inside of me
    Left me with nothing

    o know that feeling. and it really sucked.

    Sweet write man, I don't think we have written anything in ages.

    Last two lines are mint, you should use those lines in a song.

    Great write. I especially loved the last verse, but the whole thing was awesome. Also:
    "Spiraling further into you're hell"
    Should be "Spiraling further into your hell"
    You're would be you are. Other than that, this was an awesome piece. I definitely enjoyed reading it, and I'm really glad I clicked it. Great write, keep up the good work.
