Dark Temptations

by Meme   May 18, 2011


Echoes in empty places
Wandering around sad faces
Assembling scattered traces
Leading to those unsolved cases

Living life in despair
A smile on the face, is what I wear
My soul can no longer bear
Peoples judgment when they stare

Thinking life is a big mistake
My beliefs start to shake
My commitments tend to break
Affecting every decision I make

Secrets buried so deep
Haunting me, whenever I am asleep
Frightening me, causing me to weep
Sanity, I can no longer keep

Eyes full of tears
Memories wrapped with fears
Agonizing screams is what I hear
In all those passing years

I will give in to darkness temptations
I will go there with no sedation
I can no longer find my salvation
I have already lost my liberation

    Hmmm a tale of confusion powerfully put. Sometimes we all hit a wall in life and it makes us doubt, fear and question what it all means. We struggle through the pain and disappointment and grow stronger until one day the sun shines for us again. Your piece captures the emotions so well bravo!

    I really enjoyed this poem.. You've expressed such raw, deep and sad emotions.. and I liked the way you've expressed these emotions. I love the title as well, it fit perfectly! Good job!

    This could easily be made into a song - very Dylanesque

    A smile on the face, is what I wear
    ...
    Peoples ...
    ^^^ Works better to drop ", is what " plus change last line to people's

    Affecting every decision I make
    ^^^ affecting = affects

    Haunting me, whenever I am asleep
    Frightening me, causing me to weep
    Sanity, I can no longer keep
    ^^^ too many commas and 'ing's; try changing 'I am asleep' to 'I sleep'

    Agonizing screams is what I hear
    ^^^ Agonizing = agonized

    I will give in to darkness temptations
    I will go there with no sedation
    I can no longer find my salvation
    I have already lost my liberation
    ^^^ darkness = dark, drop the 'my's, & contract 'I have' to 'I've' & every line is nine beats - drives home your meaning

    Wonderful poem! With a few tweaks, this becomes a masterpiece!
