Unawareness leaves me acting the fool.
Why did I believe the lies?
This is when my ignorance exceeds caution.
Bliss comes with a price,
And I cant afford it.
I cant fund the pain.
As I see her name, memories rush back.
Though I have never set eyes on her face,
Scarlet envy sprints to mine.
Tears well behind my barrier.
But they don’t spill,
No, I’ve had to much practise.
I could have never prepared myself for the strike of venom pierced through my veins.
So much trust disappears in those seconds.
As you fumble with the buttons,
I secretly curse you with every word describable.
Abruptly I feel the urge to be back home,
Suddenly the floor falls through.
I don’t want to be near you anymore.
I crave to be lost in MY music.
I welcome sadness in with open arms,
But it just leaves my eyes in streaming gushes.
The sorrow remains.
I just want to be hidden.
So this is my vulnerability,
Think I’m made of stone?
Well you’ve smashed my cold heart.
But what hurt more was that it wasn’t frozen, it wasn’t numb.
You thawed it with your “love”.
And now the blood that began pumping is being severed at the vein.
Crimson sprays in every angle.
It is a burst pipe that drenches your face with the darkened liquid.
But I bet you don’t even feel guilt.
My hopes were so high your fatal touch has killed me,
You’re a cheating whore who should burn in the depth of a malicious flame.
All the ties that linked you to me are now being fashioned to a sturdy rope.
a rope in which I swing from daily
My breath gets cut short,
Choking on nothing but your propaganda.
And now they all see how broken I am.
A new low.
I tilt my head to the sky and all I see is rock bottom caving in above me.
But I am already under 6 feet.

wow you sure must have been pretty up-set when you wrote this piece.
I don't think I have ever seen so much emotion before in my life.
Great writing.
Good luck in the contest.

"Bliss comes with a price,
And I cant afford it.

I was really drawn to this part, I think its because theres so much truth behind it.
and hey i think its ok to overexaggerate a little in poetry especially if your trying to get a specific message across. which again you did fantastically!!!

...epically amazing...again...
The imagery was pretty great. My favorite phrase was probably "scarlet envy." I don't know why I liked that so much. It just got to me as I read.
I also liked the last stanza....very nice again.
