Bitter for sweet

Bitter for sweet

Flowers wilt in the sun,
As it scolds them to ash,
Water dried from the eye,
As tears start to splash,

The sun carves into the cloud,
With crimson dust,
A faliure is what I am,
For those that I trust,

A bitter little act,
A tasteless blunt rose,
Precious shattered diamond,
With a sadness that only grows,

Blades of grass cut my skin,
While water shatters my heart,
Trees whip me black and blue,
As our friends fall apart,

Stab me with a bloody knife,
Cut me limb from limb,
Rip my body into shreds,
But betrayl leaves me grim.

    Wow.. this poem took a very unexpected turn from gray to dark and gruesome.. i think the poem wouldve been better if your kept it at a gray sad tone rather than changing to all the bloody talk.. its somewhat cliche.. evenso the read was enjoyable and the flow was once again flawless

    Wow, this was a really weird friendship poem. Most of the time, I read mushy dedication poem with people saying how 'awesome' their best friends are. This one, was VERY different, this one is about a backstabbing. I guess, I would have thought this to go under sad, but it makes sense. Good job on this poem. Sucks for the backstabbing though.

    With all the intense nature images one would expect it to be maintained throughout yet it is not. Still it is an interesting write. The imagery is completely breathtaking and captivating. The words add to that appeal. The third stanza is actually the one that stands out to me.
