Confessions

 

Maybe it's better off this way

And in my mind it'll always stay.

Underestimate my power of suggestion

Or, maybe, just a rhetorical question.

 A man in love, not thinking clear,

Is the pawn I chose to steer.

 

I had these acts to commission

All he required was ammunition.

Maybe it was the tear in my eye

Had each of them buying my lie.

I never killed a single man

At least not by my own hand.

 

With that said...

Are they any less dead?

To each I was married

Before they were buried.

And they will see me again

Not one holding hope for heaven.

Now sensing my death very near,

It's my hell I honestly fear...

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Messing with words. Different then my usual things. I am having issues with the fonts... and my brain. I have been out of the game... I need to work out some kinks.

I noticed the changes in fonts and style, very creative, maybe you should keep thring these sorts of thing and push the boundries. A very good write!

[Jaclyn]

A lot of times the changes in fonts screw me up or make no sense with the feel of the poem. However, in this case, you really nailed it. The confessional feeling of certain stanzas, mixed with the smaller, plainer font convey a definite tentativeness or fear of confession. Plus, this was certainly haunting--yes, that is my favorite review word of the day--and different from your usual style. And the rhyming was bitchin'. You were close to not completing the rhyme in one or two places, but you really pulled it off. I loved it.

It's always fun to play with styles, you almost always come out with something unique and enjoybale; as was this =]
