I feel completely blown away by this poem...I tell you, its not often that I nominate dark poetry, in fact, Im not sure if I ever have!....but I will be nominating this..

The story, the rhyme, it sucked me right in and I felt like I was almost panicing the whole way through reading..A poem the sparks emotion is a poem worth a win to me, and this had me feeling all sorts of anxious..

Perfectly penned!

I absolutely adored this poem! Dark but very readable, as if I was standing there watching her death be handed to her... Very well penned, I am convinced that this is one of the best I've read on this site.

Incredible write!

I absolutely love this! The imagery is amazing, I felt like I was right there ... watching her be brought to her death. I kind of feel like this has a 'witch trials' feel to it.

Wonderful, dark story with a great rhyme scheme!

This deserves to be nominated.

What a piece of work you completed here. Surely it is one of your most deepest and darkest poems with so much emotion.

I will tell you now the story you have laid out upon these lines is something that many can relate too. There are so many of us who are our own worst enemy.. I sure can relate to that. I'm not sure who you are speaking of Andrew but wow. It is so relate able being ones own executioner.

From the first stanza to the last you drew me in feeling and playing this journey of this girl in my head with such detailed imagery.. It gave me an aching within my heart and gut to see the struggle and strife and how she welcomes the death because life is such a wreck.

In a way it reminds me of the story of Anne Boylen and how she was treated toward the end of her life. This is such a powerful and magically dark work of art, loved every minute of it and was so easily able to feel her feelings of sadness, emptiness, and hopelessness.

We are always our own worst enemy, but with the help from the ones who love us we're able to rise above the struggles of life and make things better and right within ourselves and others..
5/5!
