Old Habits Stain

by fearose   Nov 29, 2007


Blood lines carved into skin
Curves with my frail wrist
My warm blood runs so thin
My heart has made to twist

Dark shadows beneath my eyes
Tell of my detonating past
Shadows hide my old lies
My heart has found a cast

A love so strong to kill the pain
To remove the cuts at last
But still I have my habit's stain
The scars don't fade so fast

I hate the way I used to be
Until the day I was kissed
His love made me clearly see
All that I had missed

    "Blood lines carved into skin

    ^^ Beautiful opening there. So much depth and emotion that I'm brought right into the piece immedietly.

    "A love so strong to kill the pain
    To remove the cuts at last
    But still I have my habit's stain
    The scars don't fade so fast"

    ^^ My favourite stanza of the poem, hands down. Those lines are amazing, so much power and emotion coupled with such beautifully detailed imagery that it creates vivid visuals for me as the reader.

    "I hate the way I used to be
    Until the day I was kissed
    His love made me clearly see
    All that I had missed "

    ^^ That makes for a wonderful ending, wrapping the piece up so perfectly, and I love the transistion from melancholy to hope, I thought that was beautifully done.

    Your flow was wonderful in this piece, while the imagery was wonderfully created...beautifully written.
