    -2 people per lyric
    -2 lyrics per poet
    -100 words or less
    -No profanity please.

    Think you can do this? Well take a shot at it! Poems are due on April 1st.

    Hello There, The Angel From My Nightmare

    I'd always been haunted
    with dreams of them. You.
    Bloodsuckers, prowling the streets.
    Who do I blame now?

    I waited in the morgue,
    Lying on the steel.
    Awaiting my death,
    when you emerged from the shadows.

    A beautiful angel,
    lifting me from the darkness.
    Straight from my twisted dreams
    and visions, but you were different.

    Pain beckoned, yes:
    it was a torturous wait.
    But this nightmare won't be half as bad
    with an angel at my side.

    *A little bit of background. When I first heard this song ages ago it instantly clicked to me that it was the story of Carlisle and Esme (Twilight, yes, I don't shut up about it), so this is loosely based on that as the lyrics were perfect*

    You're Always Ahead Of The Game, I Drag Behind

    Seems that no matter what I do
    You're always two steps in front
    Seems there's nothing else I can do
    Nothing left but to finally confront

    Tired of being the last to know
    Everything you're doing behind my back
    Things have gone so far between us
    Friendship will never get back on track

    Prayed you didn't do what you did purposely
    Now realizing you knew, you knew all along
    Well, now I'm going to start playing
    Thinking it's finally time to become strong

    Now realized you're the one at fault
    When I used to blame simple bad luck
    Well sweetie, I might be dragging behind
    Get running though, I'm about to catch up

    RESULTS.
    -------/-------

    Since only two people had finished their poems before the due date, I'm going to give the two of them each 2 comments for participating. I feel that it's unfair to pick a winner out of only two poems, so I'm just gonna give you each 2 comments. Either post here which poems you want commented, or send me a PM.

    Thanks.
