& the hollow promise ring
It's *glittering* diamond is missing
Who knew love could feel so empty
I tried to |c|a|r|v|e| out im[perfect]ion from my veins
But it's never enough anyway
I picked up the blade, the {razor's dream}
Could always hush my whispered -->screams<--
It's a memory I erase
With the |pills| that have a bitter taste
Cleansing myself with the |mid|night| thunderstorm rain
Let's try to .cry. away the pain
I was simply nothing more
Then your shatt\ered bedroom .w.h.o.r.e.
So just let me [bleed] with this storm
I can't seem to l a u g h anymore
This {poison pen}
Helps me rid myself.of.you
With every notebook stain
I let out a little more pain

i like the beginning the best because it draws you in & many can relate to lost love & that -empty- feeling you get when there's just not any hope anymore to save the relationship..great piece

With the |pills| that have a bitter taste" That is my favorite part! You did an excellent job with this poem. I wish I could write like you! So not fair! Good luck in the contest! I hope you win!
& I'm here if you ever need to talk.

this is good, but im starting to wander if you just wrote it to write it or if you really feel that way.
-
-
i started writing it and felt that way--it reminds me of an ex but i swore to never write about him... maybe thats why i odnt know
but with my writing, i always let out emotional pain its the only proper way i know how too
