all the pretty things are free
feel the rise ..isolate me
raise the expectations high
drown that ghost
and never question why
make it feel incomplete
give a reason
present defeat
judge the fallen
become intense
spread your everything
but wear it all underneath..
simple pleasures never mine
im the TYPE of empty person
that wont survive the test of time..

that's quatliy poetry right there!!

drown that ghost
and never question why
make it feel incomplete
give a reason
present defeat


that part was my favorite, not really sure why it just jumped out at me,  would you mind explaining that passage in more detail?  i have ideas of what you mean but it's a very loaded stanza!  
very interesting poem indeed

I was scrolling down the list and I saw your poem only had one response, so I thought I'd reply to rescue it and give it a second chance. Well, I've just finished reading it and I thought it was absolutely beautiful! Your choice of words and the flow of them add real meaning and depth to your piece. you've given me a lot to think about anyway. Keep up the good work.

jackal: as always, magnificent work    i like the title an awful lot... very intriguing line... are you certain you couldn't incorporate it into the poem somehow?... i also really like the last line... spiffy

As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
