Such a horrid beauty this life
Toying with people through happiness and strife
Not allowing that I should smile
That maybe joy would grace me for a while
No, that's too much to ask
In the cold darkness I bask
Pale and gray, lips dyed red
The scent of death strong, for I bled
Lying across this cracked expansion
A cursed and wretched creation
I am chained down by my sins
There resides nothing but cold within
Tears of blood I so beautifully cry
As above me shatters the night sky
The shards fall and pierce my skin
They lacerate my body over and over again
Just when I think the worst has passed
This horrid life makes the suffering last
No warm hand to touch my cheek
No warm face for me to seek
Alone, I grow cold
As I never grow decrepit or old
Black blood trickles down my face
My throat bleeds, this I taste
Supreme emptiness consumes
Complete vapidity resumes
Lifeless, I live on forever
Loveless, pain holds me closer ever
To my nature, this is wrong
To hurt and die for so long
Why won't my tribulation end?
It never does on this you can depend
The love is lost, but luckily pain comes free
As the hate drowns me
I died under the desert sands
I died by your hands
My life forever eternal
As you kill me I become preternatural
As you kill me
My happiness dies, not me

Again an absolutely beautifull write. It is dark and i love every word of it. i can relate to this on such a deep level. It feels as if you have taken my emotions and described them in perfect detail. you are an extremely good writer.

"Tears of blood I so beautifully cry
As above me shatters the night sky"

I loved this!

and this

"No warm hand to touch my cheek
No warm face for me to seek"

actually im in love with the whole poem. The list just goes on and on. the imagery and emotions are so beautifull. Please keep up this amazing work, i cant wait to read more!

A sign in  the wind
ringed by the falling petals
Alone
Amongst black roses
