Bullets Called Rose

Sometimes it rains molten lead
As the teardrops fall down, dead
Here we are, the gunshot’s offspring
Eyes closed and arms folded, we sing,

But the tremors still echo—stay
Life is a toll road, you must pay
So children beg and they plead
“Help us parents, we’re in need!”

Our only line to that of love
Is the hangman’s noose from above
Hush—can you hear? So low
Falls to deaf ears, we know,

This was the rose I picked for you
It smells of life we hoped they knew
Our heart’s still cripple, but you can’t see
Multiple funerals that start with me.

Lots of catching up to do...

Bullets Called Rose- I love the image of "molten lead"; also how the title ties in with the end yet sounds like a name while the ending refers to a flower.

Stuck in Repeat- I don't want to be repetitive, but you have got such powerful endings, especially with this one. The line, "And they forgot, “What for?”" strikes a chord with me.

We Are the Silent- I think this is my new favorite. I absolutely love that you've used a slightly different style than you usually do, alternating tones. And using "gaunt" with "soul" is surprisingly fitting.

Bittersweet Mind- I think this poem shows your ability to be flexible yet stay in your unique style. Not many people can do that, they usually become redundant after a while.

I never know when to shut up.

Oh, Lee...stunning. I wish I could write like you, then I'd be a famous musician by now.



It's a thorn in my heart to read your work. Again, stunning.

Thanks everyone, I'm glad all of you liked it.
Pardon the lateness, I've been really busy.
I'll have another poem posted shortly. ^_^

A Tragic Angel

She sits there, fingers bloody
Strumming a tune she can’t hear
The public eye raves for more
A shuddering quake she can’t ignore

Down the sidewalk, into the fields
Maybe there’s peace—not sure
But no matter where she goes
It follows, abrasive and abusive

She started out small, “one of a kind”
Surprise, surprise—she hit it big
The invisible freak no more
Yet still remains unsure

In every concert, every signing
Smiling big with doe-like eyes
But she’s not happy—she never was
Another suicide in disguise

This, the fate of all our heroes?
God no, I pray—we need their soul
To keep knives and ropes where they belong
And remind us who we are by the end of a song

**It's different, so bear with me. xD
But most of all--let me know what all of you think.

Iron Eyes

Here we sit, staring at the wall
Can’t feel the heart attack at all
Stop your whimpering, dear
It’s not something you fear,

Metal bars, reflect all I am
Wonder if I should give a damn
‘Cause they still hear you crying
Alone in the night, dying,

Go away, stay away
I don’t feel good today
The medication, my eyes are black
Should I obey or learn to attack?

Demons in our mirrors, our heads
Laughing, as we fall to our beds
My cut’s still bleeding, I don’t feel
An ache of the heart that can’t heal,

Are you afraid? Are you like me?
One life to live, one life to see
I didn’t choose the halo, or horns
I just keep on thinking, “Who else mourns?”

All your poems are great!Good job!

Thanks everyone, it means a lot. ^_^

Lest We Be Alone

Remember, forget
Only two pairs of eyes
On your mark—get set
Equal a thousand lies,

Don’t fool us, you can’t
Are you okay? Be true
Lest this be a rant
We can see straight through you,

It’s not a phase, a condition
Your past carved into bone
See life in a different vision
Know that you’re not alone.


We’re with you.

Lemme know what you guys think. xD

A Seizure Eclipse

I stared at the eclipse
It’s a wonder I’m still here
For this world of mine slips
Into a place nowhere near,

Blackish haze, fluorescent light
Is this my new abode?
A place where labels don’t fight
For a space on a road,

Time twitches constantly, oh my—
We’re walking in a seizure pose
This is the place where you won’t DIE
Or worry about your dark clothes,

In this world, it’s your own choice
‘Cause the parents—they don’t hear
Where we make them hear our voice
Shout it loud, nothing to fear!

Hey! In normal life
You can’t stomach beautiful pain!
So put down that knife—
In this world, it’s you who will reign!

Liar

I’ve tried to run
But I realize my past
Is not yet done
I don’t know how to last,

I have secrets, fiends
They howl in the night
Ripping out through seams
You don’t speak, I’m right,

I may have webs
Hanging long in a closet
But my will ebbs
For I fear I have lost it,

I hide behind my face
Just so you know, I am fake
Rip it away, no trace
Living a lie? My mistake.

your peoms mean so much to me, almost as much as MCR, they can make me cry and so on, but they still make me feel better. Thank You

Thanks, My Dear Delirious, I'm glad you like it.
It means a lot. ^_^

These poems are great. They are very powerful and I love reading them.
