but you're laughing while I'm bleeding,
and because of all your cheating,
we will never
be the same.
I'm begging and I'm pleading,
and my heart is quickly beating,
'cuz this monster that you're feeding's
getting mighty
hard to tame.
I'm shattered and I'm broken
from the lies that you have spoken.
All my dreams are flayed wide open,
and my hopes are
all but dead.
But now you're the one who's crying,
and your cold facade is dying,
'cuz you'll have a hard time lying
with a bullet
in your head.

oh...I can think of an array of chords that would go with this...I mean you can do anything with this...blues...ballad....country.....blue grass...... ..........anything.
This was written with the precision of a songwriter.
You are prolific as much as you are articulate.

Enjoyed this a great deal.
Love and Peace,

I'm sorry. You didn't put the prompt in your notes.

Oh I love it, talking about pay back. The rhyme and flow was so perfect and the ending punch. Definitely deserving of the gold.


-
....You're now my hero. I really REALLY enjoyed reading this. You rock.
-
....omg
OMG!!!!!!!!!
sorry but theres just no other way to explain this!
I was reading along and the rhythem was so good, it just kept getting faster and faster until I came to the end (and OMFG what an end!) and I came screeching to a hault.
This whole peice is bleeding with pain and suffering but it's carried on strong wings thanks to that last line that packed a wicked punch!
Good show!

-
Well that's true hahaha thanks for your entry.
-
This is very well written.
Very smooth and easy to read.
Sure was a suprise ending I like suprises.
Thank you for your entry
and good luck in the contest. -
It does seem like a song. Sorta reminds me of Greenday. SHort quick meaningful stanzas without a chorus. Nice poem. Thanks for entering and good luck.
-
Great!
This flows so well I'm sure it could be sung with the right music! You are an amazing writer! You write with total emotion and no fear! Thanks for writing


-
Wow
Obviously, the end is magnificent. Sometimes crimes of passion can seem so understandable although tragic. I really enjoyed this poem. It is so hard to stop a bleeding heart. I can so relate to this...
-
I love the flow, the rhyme is amazing... there just isn't anything I don't like about this... I've chosen this one as my Bronze choice!

-

Kind of freaky that you have fantazied about doing this... BUT I really think that this was wonderful.. I love the dark writes and this was definatly a great dark read.
Thank you so much for entering and participating in my contest and good luck,
~lumin -
Hehe, very catchy, made it re read it numerous times. It gave a twisted, vindictive feel in a sense, which appealed to my dark humor. The structure is wonderful, the rhyme is perfectly done. I loved every line, and therefore cannot give you a set of favorite ones.


-
I really honestly enjoyed the jaunty rythm to this poem, well written and snappy! Great work and congrats on the gold!

Duuuude
That was so cool. Sorry to be so informal, but that was freakin' sweet. The ending was like a Martin Scorsese
flick, or Tarantino.
'cuz this monster that you're feeding's
getting mighty
hard to tame.
You're clever is abundant.


-
Wow.

I am so not a fan of dark...but am learning to read it...
lol...This is absolutely superb...the rhyme and meter are right on! Thanks for entering!
Write on...and on
*PEACE*

-
You Rock!!
Wow...dark and edgy...I like it. I didn't see that ending coming. Way to surprise. I really like the rhyme and the way you ended each stanza. It was sort of a different arrangement. Very nice. I especially liked the 2nd stanza..."cuz this monster that you're feeding's getting mighty hard to tame." It's so true that sin is like a monster inside each of us, ravaging us to the point that we are unrecognizable and do thing that we'd never do otherwise. Well written!


-
Excellent!!
This is excellent---Great flow and emotions run rampant!!
Reminds me of my poem "Muffled Monster"!!
