Slipped Away

by Brittany C   Jun 6, 2007


She slipped way
Lonely, she's lost
Into the darkness
Penetrate her heart
Pretending it's right
Entranced by hate
Darkness, she knows

Always alone, scared
Wrong at everything
And never understood
Years go by, now lost

They just slipped away
lost to her forever.
As she drowns in pain
her heart is now cold
and as hard as stone.
Slowly it's edges crumble
as she slips farther away.

Taking her last breath
as scarlet blood pooled
on the hard wood floor.
Life finally slipped away.

*written for a contest. Please tell me what you think of it.*

    As scarlet blood pooled
    [[Get your a-s-s away from cliche. I KNOW you've got better lines then that.]]

    Otherwise.
    It wasn't too bad.
    I liked the short lines, but I read it straight through; very fast because there were no punctuation marks to slow me down or make me pause.
    Consider putting some in; they'll really enhance your meaning.

    Good - i'm not a big fan of freeform, but this is amazing - a lot of sorrow, and "drenched in pain".
