The dark side of the moon

The cross on my arm
And around my neck,
The scars on my heart
That I shouldn't get,

The words that I write
To express my pain,
Just words made of ink
That will wash away,

In the end,
The pain is all I've got to remind me of you,
And how you brought about the end of all truth,
I should've never fallen in love with you,
I swear I will forget if it's the last thing I do,

Now I just want to
Move on with my life,
Leave you in the past
With all of the strife,

Now I'm looking for
A brand new sunrise,
So the sun can dry
The tears from my eyes,

Rebel of the sacred heart

Finally, something that I'm actually really content with!

... but I'm at a loss for what to call it...
Oh cruel fate! (dies)

(Sorry about the melodrama. I've been reading a lot of Shakespeare recently. Just finished Macbeth and Hamlet)

shakespeare will do that to you, let me tell ya! Its so influencing!
This was good.
You expressed yourself well.
and it does seem true about words.
I was just saying the other day...
words are maybes, action is promise.

I like this very, very much. The only thing that bothered me was the rhyming of "life" with "strife", which has been done over and over. Aside from that, this is a flawless write, and it is going to my library.

Thank you all for your much too kind words. I only wish that this song weren't about her. My poems are plagued by that constant theme, which is really unfortunate for me, because I can barely get myself to read love poetry, much less write it and not get depressed.
