My Black Dahlia

I lay there in my bed
listening to the song

over and over again

that i dedicated to him
Knowing that he's dead
Another lost
Another tragedy
Anthers' blood over mine
I cry
I promised myself i wouldn't
I wreck my room in torment
Breaking the glass and windows
As i hear the screams of my family
telling me to stop
Trying to hold me back
Throwing them against the wall
like their nothing
but dolls...
Tearing the sheets and covers apart
as they lay on my bed shredded
Curtains falling down
as i suffocate my blood into them
Tipping my dresser over
Clothes falling on the floor
Then there i see the knives
I stop and stare at them in silence
as my mom looks at me
She knows what i want
She runs towards me...
as i try to reached down and grab them
I take it and stare
holding it against my throat
My mom tackles me down onto the harden floor
that is know cluttered and cloaked with stuff
she holds me
and ask me
Jessica what were you thinking?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
All i hear is silence over powering me
But her lips moving furiously and sadden at the same time
But I'm blank without a care
Wanting to say nothing
Pushing her off
I walk out the door slowly
Everyone stares
Walking out into the woods onto the highway
I hear the sirens
of the police cars
coming after me
There i stand over the bridge...
Looking down in despite and laughing
screeching cars approach me
Police officers on the microphones
saying things
But i don't listen
I clime up
and look into the night gazing at the stars and moon one last time
and fall off.
No thoughts
No sounds
Just silence.....


I think..I'm gonna take a long walk tonight

Author notes

This song was by a group called: Hollywood Undead: My Black Dahlia
It inspired me to write the poem, that seem useless, but for some reason, I have a weird attachment to it.

    it so definitely counts and i agree with Sweaters that this one has a eerieness to it darker then the original an so is twisty its takes you on a journey in a brain in such a smooth way. lovely dark all around and the last line about the walk really finished it perfect.

    I wreck my room in torment
    Breaking the glass and windows
    As i hear the screams of my family
    telling me to stop
    Trying to hold me back
    Throwing them against the wall
    like their nothing
    but dolls...

    really wonderful visuals through the whole thing but i think this is my fav section

    these are the lyrics http://www.lyricstop.com/m/myblackdahlia-hollywoodundead.html contest rule is to paste the original below the rewrite an credit the writer/band. other then that an the Missing AN you followed the rulez perfectly but our bunnies are tired and have eaten too many shoes already i think

    Killer write!

    WTG! Good luck in the contest

    Let me just say that if I had entered the contests this poem is in then I would take my poem out....this write is just mind-blowing. I can see your room in its disasterous state. Clothes all over the floor, overturned furniture, and broken glass everywhere. Amazing!

    For Twisted Love Contest

    I do know of the group Hollywood Undead and the song, My Black Dahlia.

    You turned an already dark song into a even darker poem. I'm not sure if that counts for the contest because the originals have to be a positive view on love and the remakes have to be a twisted view on love. Hey, it works for me, though. You turned it darker so that has to count for something.

    Any ways, in the song, I'm assuming the singer wanted to kill his girlfriend because she cheated on him. But, he never actually did it. If that is the case, he would be in jail and the song would have never made it to our acknowledgement. You did the same thing in your poem. You talked about doing something that you never actually did because someone vastly hurt you. Unless, I am wrong and you actually did it, but if I am wrong, you wouldn't be here. Any ways, I like how you kept that concept. I'm not sure if this is part of the poem, "I think. I’m going to take a long walk tonight", but I really like that line. It shows you were just thinking it, all while laying on your bed, listening to the song. Then instead of acting it out, you just took a walk to cool down. If the line is not part of the poem, you should make it.

    Twisty Points For:
    - Having the same concept of wanting/thinking of doing something, but never actually doing it.
    - Really capturing how twisted love can be, but expressing what it can drive some people into doing. Now, that sent chill down my back.
    - Using a song to base your poem on. Again, I am not sure if it counts because the song is already dark. I’m not the actual judge. Just co-judge. But, you have made it even darker and that should count for something.
