My heart is shedding your love
the tears condensed in my lungs
sleeping time is over, dying time is done,
your sword has frozen,
the years have turned away, the memories have died

threw time, life has forgotten
their dying babies, crying on the streets
dying in your eyes, living in your minds,
glowing inspiration has faded
lost & turned to gray

The void must be filled
with the sands of time
so that the shadow will be unliftable,
a disease that's uncurable.
You may never notice
my esoteric scorn.

This one sucks a little.

I like it. In all honesty, it really doesnt suck. The gothic-touch is really nice.

Well, you're right, it doesn't suck but what I meant its that I don't like it that much.

We usually criticize our own work more than others
I though it was really impressive
you do have a way with words
thanks for sharing

Hmm... this one was different, yes, but it doesn't suck. I think that we see so much happy stuff around here and so much stuff about love, that anything different is looked on (by the people who write it) as something that's not as good. But it IS good, and it's very cool!

It takes more work to love myself than to love others... I guess that explains it, eh?

Very well done. One can often be the harshest critic of his poetry, so don't be too down on yourself about this one. It's not the best i've read, but very well done anyhow. You have a way with words.  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Somewhere out there a cow is laughing at you
