Crystal Clear

Everything you said painted a memory

A scar blazoned on this tattooed life

Never to erase for many centuries

Being stabbed by an invisible knife

 

Ripped apart by a verbal dagger

Flowing from your rabied lips

Intoxicated by poisonous yagger

Inhaled into you with a few sips

 

Your hand clashed on my skin

Brusing more than my hurt ego

Brother and sister, my selected kin

You and I aren't just for show

 

I felt safe in your strong arms

Breathing in your sweet aroma

Until the blaring alarms

And going into that coma

 

Of not seeing through you

Straight through your disguise

My voluntary brother untrue

Obscuring through your lies

 

I'm sorry I never said goodbye

I'm sorry I never watched you go

I'm sorry you never seen me cry

For all those times you watched me die

 

Those crystal tears keep flowing

Into the softness of the pillow

Your words are clear and glowing

In the moonlight behind the willow

 

For you're already gone and out

Of my life, moved away from me

Even then, I fear and I doubt

You'll come back to see

 

The damage you dealt

One final blow

One last stand you felt

The desire to know

 

If you left me with my crystal

Silky tears down my cheeks

Abadoned and dead with your pistol

Shot through and blood leaks

Your wordings are very powerful. You have a really graphic way of approach in this piece. Tragedy plus excellent writing style do make a great read.

Keep Writing. ^___^

[Crimson Rose]

very discriptive. (not like other people havent already told you that) plus its intresting and your word choice is clever

[LunaWolf]

Before I sleep:
I changed my mind. This is my favorite (poem) of yours. -laughs- At the moment at least. It's very...It has lots of imagery and I like that in poems (and anything really) because I'm a visual person. But, it's got great word choice, as always, and it's very elegantly written (I think that's what I'm trying to say...). Like, it's smooth and there are no bumps and pauses along the way.
