All the earth is scorched and dead
Withered flowers bow their heads
Your clockwork heart begins to rust
I see our gravestones through the dust.

Deny me once, I'm a regret
Deny me twice, just to forget
I know I'm nothing in your eyes
Mangled, whipped and hung with lies.

Do you have some love to spare?
I only wanted you to care
So go on, leave me here to rot
Convince yourself that I forgot.

"I'm terribly sorry ma'am,  my karma just ran over your dogma"

Ellie:

Wow, this was goood. A couple of lines stuck out to me.....

These:
I know I'm nothing in your eyes
Mangled, whipped and hung with lies.

And these:
So go on, leave me here to rot
Convince yourself that I forgot.

And and these:
Your clockwork heart begins to rust
I see our gravestones through the dust.
Loved those. Great job Ellie...

Morning mist clings to my face, and my soul opens up to you......

Ellie~
I am TRULY impressed by this piece.
This is an excellent write.  I tried to pick out some
favorite lines, but I LOVE all of them.
Your word selection is perfect, and the flow is wonderful.
You are definately growing in your writing and
I'm enjoying reading your works.

this is a really good poem.  Stinky liked it a lot. The "clockwork" and "gravestone" lines were awesome.  One of the best poems I've seen on here.
