shapes against flame

im trying to pick out your outline
against the instense flame
and im trying to pretend im that im just fine
forgetting all my blame.
you are mixed in with the monstrous throng
creating a medley
one that screams out every single wrong
the tune is so catchy.
sitting alone and away from friends
sorrow is incited
bitter thoughts and vivid confessions
are faithfuly cited.
no need to apologize at all
for nothing has been said
but this shows the truth of my own fall
giving bruises instead.
the faithfulness of you to forget
gives me hope for sadness
now falling embers are a ful set
stealing away my gladness.

This was wonderful! I loved the first two lines! the imagery just jumps out and grabs the reader. That is a great way to start off a poem. I liked the images and the thoughts throughout the entire thing. The flow, I think, can be worked on a little, it was a bit rough in some places. But overall I really enjoyed the piece, enchanting write

good job young_blood. feeling that way really sucks doesn't it. i look forward to your next poem.

Poems free us and trap us all the same.
But still they put our hearts at ease.
