DNR (The 7 days contest)

by Meme   Mar 3, 2013


You never saved the poetess
that lived within her because
you knew your presence was
the only way she could breathe.

Your goodbyes drained the ink
of her soul until she was left there
emotionless; accompanied by merely
a dried pen and a crinkled paper.

But she tried to mend the silence
by the sounds of un-rhyming words,
still even poetry seemed to hurt.

You -Sir- signed her life to never be
resuscitated again!

    Very very creative using this medical term and turning it into the pain of love, betrayal and emotion. It worked amazing and although short, you have created a love story that ended in utter heart break and you feel you cannot live through it.

    I love this! Well done girl x

    Wow!! I love it!! You always pick the best titles and it really catches my eye. I love this poem... I really love your metaphors.. they're always a delight to read.

    I love this stanza the most:

    Your goodbyes drained the ink
    of her soul until she was left there
    emotionless; accompanied by merely
    a dried pen and a crinkled paper.

    I must say I love that you wrote about how this girl wrote poetry, and that this person was the cause of her emotional poetry... and yet she can't live without that person... It was really interesting.

    I love the final stanza as well!

    Well done hon!
