Ever do the one thing
To make them look away
Hide in your sorrow
Be at peace in a dream
That is wrong, all wrong
But still tastes sweet to you
And ignore their remarks
Of life and of fate
For they've never died
And been scorched
Into nothing
Only you have fallen
Blindly into an abyss
That reaches out bony fingers
To drag you down
While they dance
And drink tea from china cups
With the acid death of it
Rolling down their chins
They won't look up
When you cry out for relief
They will arch their brows
And smile to eachother
Of nothing that matters
Fail to see the truth
Your truth that becomes them
As you turn your back
Descend the spiraling staircase
And crawl into your grave
It smells of lavender
Only in your head
You will close your eyes
And drift into your silent mist
To await their arrival
Into this world
This gruesome reality
Here to your private hell

DO NOT BE DECIEVED

*blink blink* let me read that again really fast . . . *blink blink* it is a very nice poem, kinda sad and creepy, but, what is it about??? Don't get me wrong, I like it, I just don't understand it very well.

This was very dark, but very good. I liked the "mysteriousness" about it. Keep up the good work!

Very dark, well written work.  I think it may either be about death itself or about someone's spirit dying.  Exellent work!

Thank you everyone for your replies!!

DragonFang- I think I was trying to portray gloom really, like through the eyes of a person who has been made an outcast by a society who casts judgement on them not for who they are, but what they "are" in other's eyes. It's a person wanting to gain personal vengeance over all those who persecuted him/her. Kind of a deep topic, I know.  
Steph- thanks for all your support!
Alwye- yeah, you are right in a way, maybe someone speaking from the grave.
4eve & Dazed- you guys are making me blush!! Thankyou for being so nice, I'm glad you can appreciate my work.
