Untamed Desires of the Heart (Acoustic)

by Vanessa   Jun 9, 2007


Unable to cope with difficult decision
Nervous about the incision
That she was making on her arm
Addicted, helplessly to self-harm
Meaningless moments, stuck in her mind
Endlessly trying to leave the past behind
Devastated and crushed under her sin

Desperately wishing to be little again
Ember glow in the ashes of her cigarette
Silence disturbed only by regret
Images engraved into her soul
Regardless of the way things go
Eternal sleep is her hearts desire
Staring into nothing, sifting the fire

Opening her bottle of Parrot Bay
Fantasy going so far astray

Tangled in a web of deception
Her mirrored, broken, reflection
Entices her insufferable soul

Helping her to just let go
Emptiness now settling in
Already under her ebony skin
Releasing untamed desires of the heart
Tortured by the day, she fell apart

    I really do not know what to say. This poem was fantastic. I believe it is one of the best acrostics that i have ever seen. It a great flow and the rhyme scheme was good. 5/5. Great great job.

    The second i noticed it rhymed, i was worried. Then i read on, and loved it! I'm happy to see that you spent time in making it flow. I hate choppy rhymes. Great work on using artistic stanzas. 5+! --jarrod.

    I really enjoyed this it gave a window into this person’s soul very specific word choice the rhyming seamed a little off in places but it was good.
