    My gosh this poem is amazing. How I missed it when I was reading all your work I don't know, but I love this. Your emotion is so clear and your voice is shown, the audience gets glimpses at your thoughts, and beautiful imagery too. You have penned a piece of perfection, I hope many more people find this piece like I did cause it really is that good. It was long but I was intrigued completely.

    Don't be clear, paint the mirrors black,
    Hurt me dear, always turn your back
    Your fault now, broken doubtful dreams
    Don't ask how, lovely silent screams

    ^Such an enticing start, really grabbed me and pulled me in, ready to read more.

    Stepping stones poke through the water
    Leading to a tree in the center of a lake
    I wish to sit atop the tree away from slaughter
    That has left a small piece of me in it's wake

    ^ Here is the best bit of the scenery's imagery. I can actually see it and feel what you described.

    Don't save me from the ones I love
    Don't say that I am so above
    When all I wish is to be below;
    I'm sorry for what happened long ago

    ^This is where we learn some about you in particular and get a peek at your true self.

    Maybe I'll meet the lady of the stones
    Whose face I remember in desperate oath
    Life and death are lovely tones
    But it hurts to know I can't have them both

    ^Beautiful ending. It wrapped everything up very nicely. There is imagery, detail, and emotion in these four little wonderful lines.

    Excellent piece
    5/5
