Forget

Drops of blood 

replace my tears,

from all this s**t 

from all these years.

For all I want 

is to forget my past,

but as much as I try

it always lasts.

Forget the pain 

of slitting wrists,

forget the mess

from bloody fists.

Forget the lows

from all the highs,

forget the shame 

from blood shot eyes. 

Forget the stress

since last December,

forget how I hate

with all I remember.

You should really publish a book. Your poems all follow this format and rhyme perfectly. Your writing is neat and well-kept, its not all over the place. All of them have a deep meaning that anyone who reads it will feel. Wonderful job .

Well, this is an interesting piece of writing. I don't usually like the upbeat poems, so I like this piece. I like the repetition (I like repetition in general) and the rhyme. What I don't like, though, and this is just because of my personality, because it does fit in well with the theme of the poem, is the the part about "slitting wrists" in stanza 3. However, as I've already stated, it fits in well with the poem. I especially like the last two lines "forget how I hate with all I remember" and the part that says "Forget the lows from all the highs." Thank you for sharing, I liked the message the poem sends, about how the past is hard to forget.

Very emotional to say the least.
Good writing my friend.

Bitter and angry. This is a great poem.

[Tainted Devotion]

I love this poem. Nothing in it is forced and it flows very nicely. The story is heartfelt and has so much meaning. There is amazing imagery here as well. One of my favorites from you for sure.

I love the rhyme scheme of this poem. The rhymes don't seem forced at all, which is a pleasure to see, read, and hear. You words are powerful and create amazing imagery. This was a great poem.

[indieRokker]

Wow! That was a haunting piece, such daunting imagery flaring from each line, each line written with powerful emotions. You painted a haunting imagery in this piece, but the bitterness an anguish in this piece was powerful in it's own sense, you havegood taste in rhyming, letting the verses flow well together, this piece may have a lot of different significant meanings to people. You're a great writer, keep writing, always.

Lots of pain, anger and sadness running through this writing.. flowed out very fluidly. Fiery and fierce.. I think alot of people will relate with this one with the way things are today (loss of employment.. broken marriage or family).. these things touch everyone in some way and here you do not tell of the cause other than past.. but the effect is very well heard and felt through this!
