Ohmigosh. XD FINALLY something new. I just wrote this like five minutes ago, and I'm glad to say my dry-spell has passed... Hopefully. :]
Just tell me what you think! Very Happy

This

This is my life
An open book for the world to see
With burnt edges and crooked lines
Paper cut-out hearts with papier-mâché stars
Crushed beneath the fist of fury
With a blood-red ribbon to emphasize
Forgiveness or lack thereof

This is my heart
Beating softly with the tests of time
A smooth rhythm dripping with dread
Crystalline shards of broken hearts
The tattered wings of butterflies
Strewn across the darkness of a bitter end
A hatred looming in the thick walls of the mind
For remembrance, though I’d rather forget

This is my death
A metaphorical emptiness of the mind
A blank slate on which to write your happily-ever-afters
As you ride off into the sunset
Feathers fall from the heavens
As angels toppled over from the force of my words
Whispered kisses of death live on through the night



Edit: Okay, so if you noticed that I mentioned me entering a poetry contest when I posted The Music Box, then you'd know, well, I want to enter it. I decided I want to enter this one, but the problem is that the poem must be 21 lines long, but this one is 22 lines long. I need to fix it in some way, just a version for the contest. So I need some ideas.
I thought maybe combining two lines in the last sentence to be read like this:
As you ride off into the sunset feathers fall from the heavens

Doing that will make it 21 lines, which works for the contest. Any suggestions, or is this good?
THANKS!
Very Happy

Wow. Amazing flow, vivid words. I think I liked the first stanza best; it was just extremely beautiful.

Haha, you better be glad the dry-spell has passed, because I expect some more of this stuff out of you, missy. ~~

I reckon the idea you got for moving two lines into one works really well. And I'll be so surprised if this doesn't win.

This is so beautiful I'm finding it hard to come up with compliments suitable enough.

Thanks uber.
When a poet that writes poems I find too amazing for words says stuff like that, I feel accomplished as a writer. Very Happy

And thanks, Soph. Very Happy
