Beautiful face...Get Away...

Inspired from the beautiful yet cynic lyrics of Breaking Benjamin...

How is it that you can be,

Can mean so much to me...

Isn't it ironic

We were so erotic,

Yet such grace withered like autumn leave,

My heart of stone crunching beneath your feet.

Nothing left to say,

Nothing left to feel

Just the hollow void beneath the broken seal.

Stitch a plaster over my gaping neck wound

Lest my soul escapes,

Well whats left,

The dregs and drapes.

Scrape me from the rock at the bottom

Find my distressed limbs within a Jack's bottle,

Piece them together like a jigsaw puzzle,

But never do it out of sorrow.

Such things is unbecoming

Almost frown-worthy.

Haha. Even within such a matted state,

I'll laugh and cry to contradict with a crate

That will perhaps be large enough to compensate.

Nah to be crazy is too easy...

Forever engrave the beauty of a challenge on my face 

For it is the race that fulfills and sates...

Do what you will but never cajole my mind into zombification,

For the mindless are strongest at retaliation...

Weeeeeelll I sho like this...it's all over the place (meaning it is untamed which I loved) and you can't predict the next line but one thing you do know for sure is that beauty is not your friend in this poem. It's a curse doing you wrong and laughing at your demise. You bettah write this friend!

Well done! 'just the hollow void beneath the broken seal..' nice! Reading one of your poems is like reading an emotion. There's always a certain line that makes me stop and think.
