Its the days like this,
That I begin to understand exactly what you meant.
Restrictions abound, Im lost in this and you're not here to understand,
So I'll hang up my reason and drink this poison like sweet tea.
Creating this nightamare that I dream every night,
Suspicion counting ribbons on my neck, it's so hard to breath.
Restrictions abound, I'm falling down and down and you're not here to catch me,
So I'll pin-up my inhibitions and eat this acid like birthday cake.
Unbidden terrible things rise to mind, and words creep along my estranged consciousness,
Trembling fires and hard cold feelings, I lock them away like intentional murderers.
Silence breaks down our perfectly built solitude; and I'll admit for a while I was broken;
But this plan is falling to pieces, and there is no one to receive it.
The scars on my arms are faded into milk, and so no evidence is left behind,
But I'm so afraid, because I just wanted one thing to remember you by.
Hesitation remedied, I'll move in like a crow, eating and feasting,
I'm sure you'll never know, just how broken someone can be.
We were in this together for a time, but time has stopped healing,
So forgiveness is fleeting, and power has lost all of its emotionless meaning.
Rhymes become just syllables stuck imperfectly together, so we'll dance to this broken song,
Our eyes bright in the waning moonlight, lets remember that we are only ghosts to one another.
Sweet remorse has called its final battle, so I'll go without armor or weapon,
Let's see how that will make you feel; so cold and alone in your little world.
The ribbons around my neck are growing tighter and tighter, and it is all your doing,
Because we are lost like strays, and our homes are destroyed by intruders.
The keys and charms around our necks are a simple defense in a useless world,
Crying is for little girls, so tonight all we'll do is hold each other tight.
Restrictions abound, I'll falling down and down and you aren't here to see I'm lost,
My cake and tea are replaced; and this poison tastes like acid.

I don't know why, but this made me think of a twisted romeo and juliet tale
Absolutely marvelous job with this piece!
I love the tale you've woven here. It's cynical with a little air of humour here and there.
Bravo!

love it
And once again, it does make sense. haha. I love it though. Its very raw. When I first read the title I couldn't really put it all together, but the first 2 stanzas put it all together. It turned out to be a great poem.

I really like the title. Cause its not something people would usualy do.
And again, thank-you very much. (I'm going to have to find different ways to say thank-you. its becoming repetitive. xD)

Intense!!
Wow, I like this. It is dark and seductive and I have felt it many times in my life. Desperation... no absolution. Great strength of emotions and thoughts. Most fine poetry.
