take their pain out on each other
shallow hearts
only love in fits and starts

everything I feel screams inside me
rips right through every single piece
I died before
smothered ‘til I couldn’t feel a thing
this is my encore
so turn the **** sound up and sing

hurting lovers
hurt each other
dig shallow graves
for collapsing airways

I’ve left all my tragedies behind me
now my life burns so hot it sears me
I died for years
living like a zombie breaks you down
love perseveres
I left behind that **** ghost town

angry lovers
kill each other
screaming melodies
are soothing remedies

hungry souls are feeding all around me
desperate to fill up every single piece
I’m wide awake
suddenly the truth is crystal clear
slithering snakes
sicken me with touches so severe

I’m not blind to your heavy, thick black clouds
churning, dripping black acidic shrouds
I see your void
you twist her but I won’t let her break
or be destroyed
you’ve got a hold but her soul you can’t take

gentle lovers
don’t **** hurt each other
awakened hearts
make beauty into art [comments] => 4 [counter] => 149 [topic] => 13 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Great writing. You spun this round and round so well it read like a song too. Very unique and not the typical love lost poem. Very impressive!

no love is hidden
underneath some rock
you could never lift
no matter how hard
you might try,
lovers meet this love
they could never agree
upon someday
but it becomes so hard to leave
because love does that
it hurts, to leave
this has nothing to do with
language that is grammar
which is hard wired into
every living soul,
grammar is what transpires
Trump, is grammar,
so to is ghandi

Peace!

Wow. Finally waking up to overwhelming emotions and awareness. If this piece represents your current state, I hope you find a way to use this wisely. Good luck and keep singing!

Very descriptive!

I especially like this bit here:

"hurting lovers
hurt each other
dig shallow graves
for collapsing airways"

I guess because cemeteries give me the creeps. 😳

Hang on to that thought in the last stanza. In my opinion, love doesn/'/t hurt. If there is hurting and pain, it`s not real love.
