The funeral is over ______
The pleasantries gone
Now you’re in the ground for people to walk on
But we won’t forget you and your morphine lies
For your soul we prayed looking up to the((skies))
We’re walking now on hollow ground
A silver blade and blood… I’m drowned
Prescription pills a useful drug
My shovel in hand I bent and dug
I gain a peace through dead mans screams
Especially it’s in my dreams
[[when]]
Shattered hopes
Tied by ropes
Hanging from the trees
Screaming,
NO
-.-Screeching listen to our pleas-.-
Our worthlessness
::Explained:: to us by things we cannot _suppress_
But now we’re numb
Comfortably,
Even though it’s 0x..crazy..x0 to some
To stay here all night
In the least amount of fright
Digging for ζloveζ
In a badly fitting glove
So .-fingerprints-. aren’t left
At the scene of this theft
I can’t let you go
This you should know
It would just [{{kill}}] me
-=Which in reality=-
Wouldn’t be so b.a.d
It’d be better then what we h.a.d
I’ll turn this around on me now
And it’ll work out better somehow
The toxins overtaking me
So much so that I can no longer see
I’m typing to a blind computer screen
Letting go in-between
This poem is not over it will never be
!!Ha!!
!!Ha!!
!!Ha!!
You have no control over me----
But right now I’m going to leave
**Here’s the knife that I unsheathe**
Pull it out I’ll slit my throat
Like [a] scene from murder she wrote
But that’s a satisfaction that I won’t let you take
I’ll turn around now, I’m sorry for my mistake
Put down my shovel and wonder away
Away from the graveyard filled with decay
I’ll go home and sleep and about you
I’ll just go home its all I can do

Dirty pretty...*drools righeously*...LOL...wonderful write, my dear. I can most definitely see why you won. That line about "murder she wrote" just cracked me up the middle. I know it's seirous, but it still had some humor laced in there. Kudos, my dear, and three thumbs up!

It is really good!! sorry i didn't comment earlier!!! I love the dirty pretty style that you used it was awesome!!! so good job and keep it up!!

I like the rhyme (and the flow is good too, i think).
Wheather this is about being abandoned via a break up or because of true death, its powerfully sad and lonesome, and still mad and frustrated as hell.

its not that i dont like it, its just hard for me to follow sometimes and seems to make it take away the cohesiveness, im easliy confused and words all over the place just make stuff harder to follow.
ok mayhaps i do have quite a dislike for it, least you are a good writter to write a good poem around a really shady writting style -
