Audience Of One

As you sit

And stair at the floor

Nobody in the room

Rarely someone at the door

 

Sitting in your lonely cell

Thinking about your wrongs

Trying to think good thoughts

A story, a poem or possibly a song

 

Thoughts of that night linger

As you start to cry

You didn't mean for this to happen

Nobody was suppose to die

 

It was going down

As a night of all nights

Looking back now

You can't even bare the site

 

Sorries were said

But the damage was done

The family refuses to forgive

Now you face and audience of one

 

If you could only go back

When the party was a jive

You'd think again

Before you decide you want to drive

I can think of two things after reading your poem. One, was that the narrator drove a car while he was drunk and killed someone. Two, was the same scenario but he got killed and now he is suffering.
The first one applies more in any case. I liked your poem. It was simple, yet is managed convey a lot to the reader. Your words flowed very well and it was an excellent, well though-of piece.
Great work =]

I liked this one a lot. It conveys that sense of despair very well.

I read a number of your pieces...my only suggestion is to let yourself relax into the writing a bit. Poetry doesn't always have to rhyme--that's the beauty of it. Just let it flow and see where it takes you...you might be surprised.

Wow. This was amazing. It was powerful and with meaning. It had nice flow and it made me wanting to keep reading. Nicely done my friend! =)

This is a wonderful piece with a powerful message. The only issues I see are those of grammar and spelling, but that's easily fixed without taking anything away from the poem. Well done. Keep Writing!
