Every thought kills...
Every memory devastates...
Every reminder frays...
Every flicker irritates...
I'm trapped by your eyes
and what they held for me.
But I was blinded by your light
and just couldn't see.
The shadow cast behind
was my evil heart.
Corrupting your bright canvas,
destroying your work of art.

This began as a song. Probably still is, just not finished. Enjoy... or not.
Please tell me what you think

Title caught my eye.
Yep needs an ending. But starting out great! ..And great title.
Saw the cool flame and followed it. A constuction worker huh?. Well it shouldn't strike me funny. I'm a landscaper and jack of all trades. We poets travel in many jobs. Where husbands lock doors and Kings prepare prisons. hahaha...
Are you in a band?

Hoodwinked
Such strong emotions. I like the title. It grbas your attention. I could see how this was a song. You been hoodwinked by a poetic bandit. -
I did enjoy I hope you go on to finish it as a song, as it has a strange appeal.

Regretful
Seems full of hinds sight and regret. I love the line "The shadow cast behind was my evil heart." So enveloped by it all! Very intense and leads me to a beauty and the beast contemplation. Nice.

The only way I'm liking this is if you sing it.
Ooo, that's an idea...
Nick, pick up the phone - I'm calling you and you're singing this.
oh wait ... my phone is dead
*sigh*
I still wanna hear you sing it.
Though ... if you add on more to this, let me know.
But it's good as it is. Great effect with that as the end.

Writing a song? I want to hear it if you finish! I guess you'll just have to come out here!
