Cells shining
as perfect as ruby lined crown
Make up the blood,
(And it's leaking.
Call the Guards,
I can feel it escape.)
My fingers are like words,
Your lips are like plastic,
And it's all made up.
We're all made up.
I know I'm alive,
Because I can feel.
(I can feel your voice,
I can feel your breath,
I can feel your pain,
my pain.)
And it's like a car crash;;
We're exploding into a firework show
Composed of Chemicals and Dreams,
(Sparking in refutation.)
And behind your eyes,
I see the depth of a wading pool,
Harboring murky intents
And rocky stones.
Behind your eyes,
I see nothing.
But I can feel my heart bleeding,
And I thank you for that,
Because once again,
At least I know I'm alive.
Author notes
I didn't know if we actually had to use the prompts in it?
I didn't, so sorry about that.
I just was inspired by it.
And I hope this isn't -too- long...
I tried to make it short (ish.)
Anyhow, good luck!
"--The pain, it's not receeding.
My heart, I feel it bleeding."

Oh my gosh!
This is beautiful!
Oh thank you =] this has put such a smile on my face.
All the lovely imagery and pretty words. Wow ^.^
I love the lines :
We're exploding into a firework show
Composed of Chemicals and Dreams,
(Sparking in refutation.)
They are -stunning- I had to stop reading for a while and just read those three lines over and over.
This is one of those poems I could read over and over again.
Love it,
best of luck in the contest!

Oh, wow, thank you. (:
I'm glad that you like it so much.
I wasn't put on her finalist list though, so I'm pretty sure I'm not winning.
But it's okay.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it. (:
