Love drips through inkstained hearts,
and casts a glow of faint sincerity.
Melodies of unsung songs,
hinting at the hopes
that were long forgotten,
are long forgotten.
Feelings that are hidden in the depths,
of shadows and misdemeanors.
Emerging,
it all happens, it will happen.
Hinting at the clock struck hour,
when the lost tales of fear strike once more.
Decaying monstrosities mixing in motion,
moving in an ominous manner.
It's a plague,
and it's coming to get the one who breaths.
physically, they all breathe.
rushing,
blurs,
motion,
passing,
fast.
Beat,
Beat,
Beat,
Hurry.
Insecure breathing increases against the tick,
and the tock of the hand moves closer to it's end.
They hear the quickening pace of their organs,
They feel the slipping of their souls,
They watch it grasp everyone around them.
Sparkle colored lolly-pop dreams are gone,
Falling apart against bashes of thoughts.
It's over,
Drop.

Omfg.
Is this your first ap poem?
I am so jealous. You should read my first ap poems they are SO FUCKING BAD. Seriously.
They're like...
"i'm a broken doll on a dirty shelf"
or whatever. They're just bad.

Ahaha.
But I just joined AP a few months ago... lol.
You joined years ago.
And still, this isn't -that- good.
I have better. -

I didn't say it was AMAZING. But who cares about a year the point is that my old poems are atrocious and yours are not.
