Crackling Bones

The sound of crackling bones

To the wind breezing through my hair as it’s cold

Walking through this world as I’m unknown

You’re fading away leaving me alone

There’s no more time left, where should I go?

I guess it’s only for you to know

 

My screaming heart breaks me down

My bleeding tears flood me all around

Soaking in self loath I’m going to drown

Since you have gone I search for a way out

The more I try the more I bury myself underground

I echo my voice as I scream and shout

I guess there’s no way out

 

Do I really deserve all of this pain?

Do I look at you as you walk away?

Do I need to be locked in these chains’?

Do I deserve to be exiled behind these gates?

Do you really think that I’m the one that needs to change?

Do you know how much this all aches?

 

I’m walking dead with this hollow heart in my hand

Lift my soul from me and make me inhuman

You can take away so much from me with that look in your eyes

I cross out every day on my calendar

Because when everyday is a world of hurt

There is no escaping the flames of your fire

 

This is the sound of my crackling bones

I hear the wind starting to freeze me cold

Walking through this burning world still unknown

You have disappeared leaving me here alone

Where did you go with my soul?

I guess it’s only for you to know

Another great write from you Brandon. Though if you don't mind my suggestion, all most all of your poems have the same format, or same flow. I would love to see you do something completely different someday. I definitely believe you have a talent with words, so why not give it a try? Just a suggestion of course, I'll still read your writing the way it is, simply because it's good and from the heart.

Any suggestions? I have been doing this style so long kinda stuck on it. I have never been taught how to write poems just picked it up an went with it.

[Serenity Faith]

oh goodness yes! There's all sorts of different styles. I'm still coming across different ones and trying them. I've yet to see a rhyme scheme from you. The easiest kind to do is abcb format or abab format. You could do a haiku in which the poem is three lines, the first line is 5 syllables, the second line is 7 syllables and the third is 5 syllables again. I recently learned about trimeric poetry. In which you write four lines in the first stanza, then you taken the second line of that stanza to start the second stanza, adding two lines to it, and then so on an example would be "The Fine Line" or "The Beat of My Own Drum" that I've written. There are just so many. Of course you can always google different versions of poetry and see if you come across anything that sparks your interest ^_^ I'm quite happy to see you're open to new ideas. The sign of a true artist.

well i don't want to keep doing the same thing over and over i start getting bored after awhile with but i will always come back to it but want to broaden my ways of writing to attract more attention and to know something else.

[Serenity Faith]

That's exactly how I feel ^_^ I can't wait to see what you create!

[Brandon Mathis]

I'm going to try
