I close my eyes
Imagine a realm descending my own
Painful reality.
My wrists are crimson and raw -- but numb.
The unwanted creatures gather at my feet
Coaxing the torn wedding dress around my legs.
They understand.
A unicorn with her horn broken,
Faeries sit upon wilted flowers and weep.
Yes -- they understand me.
Spinning around, melancholy eyes form the scenery.
An overcast sky wants so desperately to pour
Mournful tears of regret and agony --
We are miserable...And always prey for company.
The cutting winds, blatantly whispering their own sad tale
Ravage dying trees and lift my hair upward --
As if wanting to drift straight up.
"NO!" I scream. Not back there...
But my conscience wistfully impedes
Against my will,
And I am where I started.

Bravo!! You did a great job writing this and I am happy (no pun intended hehe)to see that you didn't write about fluffiness and all that. I like that you decided to be different and I still can get alot of imagery from this piece which also has some wonderful flow. Great job!
