Crimson Red

by Michelle18   Feb 23, 2007


Sitting in a darkened room,
Feeling nothing but sadness and gloom.
Tears streaming down my face,
Listening to the words of three days grace.
Staring at only the ceiling,
Wondering why this heart isn't healing.
These walls surround me with pain i've tried to hold together,
Those memories will be with me forever.
In my hand im grasping a knife tightly,
I start cutting my wrist slightly.
It releases anger, i feel no pain at all,
I wipe my blood with my finger and start writing on the wall.
"Thanks for throwing me in hell" are the words written in crimson red,
"Maybe you'll love me when im dead."
I lay the knife on my chest,
And start thinking this is for the best.
Through the heart i stab a knife,
And finally end my miserable life.

    Wow. This was really good. It was full of emotion, which is an important part of a poem. The rhyming was excellent. The only thing I can point out your lack of capitalization of proper nouns. "I", "Three Days Grace", that kind of stuff. And that is the only thing I can suggest you edit. This piece was awesome.

    5/5

    Well, wow. I thought it was pretty good. The flow and rhyming were nice.

    "Thanks for throwing me in hell" <-- I really liked that haha.

    Um, I see a few I's that need to be capitalized, but that's about it. Great write!

    Wow, what a powerful and chilling write! I really hope you've never felt like this. For some reason the words "crimson red" really stand out in the poem. Whether this is because they're also the title or of the image they create I'm not sure. Maybe it's a mixture of both! But it's certainly effective. Em xXx
