i'm tombstone alone

Contributed by In_a_While on Wednesday, 6th July 2005 @ 03:34:48 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



ghosts of old trees
haunt me inside
i'm tombstone alone
for too long i've cried

black tree despair
i'll hang by my smile
and stretch out my care
for one more last mile

webs of her soul
entangle me here
and darkens me whole
to black and damp fear

true, i love her above
in clouds of wet white
but is rain like true love
when lightning breaks night?

i bathe in her blank
and swallow shell words
into oceans i sank
while gasping dark birds...

and on and on and on...

dw

i like this too.
don't use suicide as your escape!
don't waste your-self!
and don't waste your talent either, 'coz...
have you ever heard the saing...
it gets better before it gets worse?

I got some good images from this write. You used some clever wording in this piece, which gave it a fairly steady flow. I personally would've left the 'on and on' part out, but you did a good job nonetheless. Well done Dwayne!
