Only A Friend

by Kurt   May 3, 2007


Thunder rolls through the blackening skies
As my eyelids fall over my lolling eyes
Acidic lies fall from the sky like rain
Burning my skin and rinsing the pain

Your cold shoulder causes my heart to freeze
Sending shivers down my spine with each breeze
Spinning in a lugubrious silence
With loneliness numbing my sense

Venom flows in a multitude of ways
Strangling my sight with a foggy haze
My subconscious shifts into overdrive
Calculating my chance to survive

Laying on the floor gasping for breath
I perceive the dark visage of death
I realize why I died as I begin to descend
You came to regard me as only a friend

    "Thunder rolls through the blackening skies
    As my eyelids fall over my lolling eyes

    ^^ I wasn't keen on "sky like rain" as it's commonly used, however I loved the usage of acidic lies here, it really captured my attention.

    "Your cold shoulder causes my heart to freeze
    Sending shivers down my spine with each breeze
    Spinning in a lugubrious silence
    With loneliness numbing my sense"

    ^^I didn'tlike this stanza..the first two lines seem of with the flow to me, and I didn't like the last two rhymes..maybe reword it or work on it a little?

    "Laying on the floor gasping for breath
    I perceive the dark visage of death
    I realize why I died as I begin to descend
    You came to regard me as only a friend"

    ^^You make up for the previous stanza with this one. The closing here is just beautiful, really hits the reader and tugs on the heart strings.

    I think this is good, but not your best.
