Drowning

by Wings Of Flames   Nov 5, 2005


Icicles of pain,
Melt once hit by droplets of rain,
Dripping silently like tears falling off my cheeks,
All at once everyone speaks,

The icicles begin to fall,
Smashing pain all over as they hit the wall,
Now everyone is screaming together,
Im stuck in the middle and blown around like a feather,

Im left under an icicle of pain,
It hits me now theres a stain,
I want to speak to the ones I love,
But they continue to argue and shove,

I sit quietly out of the way,
But the pain wants to stay,
Tears dripping from my eyes,
I whimper soft crys,

They leave me alone,
I feel thrown like a stone,
But Im sinking in my soft crys and tears,
I drown silently in fear,

Somewhere I am loved I hope,
But I still continue to mope,
I want to be held up high,
Away from icicles of pain and the lie,

Out from the darkness I see a spark,
I look and see a burning mark,
Floating to the surface away from the stain,
I get to the top and see it rain,

I begin to sink,
The icicles beckon with a silent wink,
No face shows me a way from this winking icicle so cold,
No one wants to come and hold,

My shaking form without a smile in her life,
I notice the beauty of a glistening knife,
I gave up more then you know,
Now Im going to let it all go,

I just wanted to know where I stand,
Between these icicle laid lands,
I have been seduced by the ice,
It doesnt look like a vice,

I have no more breath to hold,
I can feel the goosebumps from the cold,
Drowning in a world of white,
Drowning without a fight,

Its too late to tell me its alright,
You didnt say anything even when i was encased in night,
The last icicle has finally dropped,
And my world has finally stopped. . .

    Poetically speaking, your poems are great, but the thing i'm not a real fan of is the structure of your poems, no offence or anything, but i find the way they're set out a bit repetitive and too uniform, but hey each too their own. Try some variety. Like it or hate it, at least it's a comment.

    Hey em, another breath-taking work of art. i agree with VioletRaven, the icicles of pain thing is very abstract and well thought out.
    keep writing hon, you rock!

    This is an amazing poem, you have so much talent. It is structured perfectly and flows really well. I love the concept of "icicles of pain", and the depth of emotion you have captured.
    Well done! Keep writing.
