MyChemicalBlack's Poetry

i did enjoy it. you were right not a very gory poem however the imagery more than made up for it.. i like the idea of the body being like a tree that can be so easily cut down

Ah, I was wondering if anyone would pick up on the "tree" connection.
Victory. lol. xD

I'm glad you liked it. Always nice to get feedback. ^_^

The Bystander Effect

Carve your face,
Oh, what have you to hide?
Beneath the flesh,
A time-lapse suicide,

Mirrors hate,
Constantly covered,
Until ripped back,
A bloodless lover,

Who knows your pain,
Calling out with smiles,
While you stand screaming,
“I’m full of denials!”

Yelling, sobbing,
But why should you care?
We stand here slashing,
Out chunks of our hair,

Hair that no longer,
Covers our eyes,
So you can’t avoid them,
LOOK and DESPISE.

Find My Friend.

Find me in the shadows,
Lurking in the day,
Find me sobbing, coldly,
Melt the words away.

Find me in the rafters,
Swinging side-to-side,
Find me in your memory,
I never meant to hide.

Find me before it’s too late,
The hour’s not yet twelve,
Find me laying face down,
Screaming, “Save yourself!”

Find me living heartbroken,
The pieces broke in two,
Find me in my darkest hour,
Where are friends like you?

Find me in the tombstone garden,
I’m a ghost among the bones,
Find me in the furthest corner,
Building castles out of stones.

i like them both. i prefer find my friend more the imagery was excellent good work as usual

ok and i love the title of the bystander effect brilliant idea!

A Slow Motion Dream

In slow motion,
I can see,
All the whispers,
Aimed at me.

To be loved, to be shoved,
We just want to belong,
Until then, we’re on pavement,
Thinking, “What went wrong?”

**A short two stanza poem that's been rattling around my noggin.
Will have a full length posted soon. Enjoy.

its good. cant wait to read the full length version but i must admit the two stanzas alone work well as i like how the last line makes us think 'what went wrong'

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.
I'm actually considering leaving it like that (in two stanzas).

We Belong In One Long Song

They said, “You’re so ugly”,
That you don’t really belong,
In your head, you’re something,
By the end of every song,

Is there someone in there?
We can hold on for so long,
Are you really out there?
Heaven knows, you’re in my song,

I repeat every word,
Like a verse to hold me strong,
Flying high in the chorus, and crash,
To find it only a song,

Can you really hear me?
When I say, “You fixed my wrong”,
Can you really do that?
With the lyrics of a song?

Oh, I told you what “they” said,
And you whispered I belong,
Maybe there is something,
Lurking in one long song.

Graceful? I Think Not.

Would you dream?
Would you die?
Would you fall to the ground,
And cry…?

All alone,
That’s for sure,
Close your eyes,
Kiss the floor,

Whisper now,
They won’t know,
Terrified shudders,
Will it show?

Cold steel,
Breath goes hush,
Burning life—
Where’s the rush?

Silence grows,
They shake their head,
Oh to buy you violets,
Or roses instead?

oh if only i had read we belong in one long song when i was in school it would have cheered me right up. its beautiful as always. i do hope you post more up

WOW is it dead in the poetry forum. Nothing to how it was just four years ago. Sheesh. But one thing will never change: your poetry always rocks. Hello old friend.

Thank you both for responding. Truth, I've been watching the poetry thread inch along lately--so it means a lot that you two took the time to reply.

I'll post more, pinky promise.
I've got a chunk of single stanzas (not full fledged poems) waiting in the wings as well.

Again, thank you both. <3

The Sunlight Killed My Friend.


We walked together,
Daylight’s harm,
With seething shadows,
Burned in our arm,

But what can I?
Can I save you?
Don’t close your eyes,
Or fade to blue,

I tried to say,
Why are you alone?
It’s awfully cold out,
Chilled to the bone,

Oh what of the help?
It never came,
Just me and the echoes,
Screaming your name,

So tell me sun,
Do you laugh now?
When we close our eyes,
There is no sound.

The Truth Shall Be Heard.


If you screamed,
They didn’t know,
Fake emotions,
Will never show.

Every lie,
You ever said,
Will show up,
When you are dead.

Laughing softly,
They lean in quick,
“We like to think,
We made you sick”.

And as you close your eyes,
The last time,
They are dancing now—
At the scene of the crime.
