Touch of Bitters

by Sunshine   Sep 13, 2011


Everybody left, I'm caught up here by my own
with bitter feelings biting down my tiniest bone,
as if it's lonesome with big black, sharp teeth
challenging my quiet inner nature to moan .

Or perhaps its discontent with shattered dreams
gone unfulfilled, beating the bottom of screams
that I can't leave behind, for waiting hurts so bad
but moving on is miles harder than it truly seems.

I guess it may be shame stabbing me in the heart
or pride failing to stand firm as I lose my art
of appearance when abandoned by people who
promised me a fine ending on our shady start.

Everybody left, I'm caught up here but all alone
with touches of bitterness yet stiffness of stone
for it may be lonesome, discontent or broken pride
but I swear I'd rather die before I age here by my own.

    Hey, i think you out did yourself here
    truly poetic, the flow was incredible and the rhyming scheme was beyond an average normal poet, i really do believe that with the level of skill you posses, you should be publishing
    the image of sadness within these lines was very real, that I've felt it fully without having to even relate to it, and the repatison on your last santza served a huge purpose for me to grasp the full meaning of your tragedy.
    unbelievable,
    epic
    magnificent
    5/5
    Nomination
    and a weekly winner in my eyes.
