i was angry...

it's all over the place and it has plenty of forced rhymes but it's meant to be more of a song than a poem.

show no mercy show no pain
your death would be a gift
not to me but to yourself
you're the meaning of destruction
no better than I've felt
but worse than you’d ever fuck them

i can feel the blood pumping through my veins
IT STAINS IT STAINS
i can hear the lines running through my head
I'M NOT AFRAID I'M NOT AFRAID

STARTING SHIT AND ENDING LIVES
cracks me up because you’d never steal a soul
NEVER WAS A REAL GOOD GAME YOU PLAYED
serving revenge on golden plates (it's never only hate)

i can see your face scraping on the floor
I'M NOT FAKING I'M NOT FAKING
the feelings i have to kill you
THEY GOT ME SHAKING THEY GOT ME SHAKING

something else for kicks:

Happiness was more than you bargained for
showing me was just what you wanted plus more
used to say "I hope you choke and die"
hoped to say "I couldn’t hate you if I tried"

burnt my tongue on you this morning
singing crappy songs about long lost love and secrets
lost the taste of you this morning
can’t believe you made my heart fall to pieces

sing the chorus of love songs back to me
the after-taste of my words slipping past your teeth
Look for double meanings and read between the lines
find all the subliminal messages I left behind

Hold your breath on tight corners
and steer you life away from borders
show me all the fears you’ve conquered
tell me all the times you’ve suffered

lost my mind because of you this morning
thought of all the times you’ve kissed
dropped my heart because of you this morning
got me thinking of all the chances I missed


something i'm working on:
There’s a hand on this back that makes the blood flow
thinking “straight edge never said a word”
it’s the same old feeling that never failed this show
cutting out memories never felt so absurd

steal the words off these lips that reek of “good intentions”
The movement of sisters never felt so comforting
back to the real world over-stocked with contentions
to limit the faux thoughts just

Not bad.

You know, I actually loved the second one,
and the first one was cool as well.
Just post the new one when you finished it.

Wait...just realized something. Haven't you posted the second one here before? I remember it!

awesome! all of them. the first one works really well as a song.

I don't appreciate curse words in poetry, but like you said, it's a song so I guess it's not such a big deal.

But your caps lock really got to me. You can make something stand out without those too.
