Tainted

Tainted Rose

Only a vision of beauty…is what they all adore.
Darkness and insanity… they choose to ignore.

Just like a rose…my beauty will fade.
Leaving me with nothing but shades of gray.

Drifting away from an empty shell.
Lifeless inside…but no one could tell.

Just like a rose…my heart will break.
Leaving nothing for you to take…

Just like a rose…I’ll entirely fade
Leaving you memories of nothing but pain.

Author's Note- Alright this is actually the first poem ever that rhymed in my collections of poetry. This was probably written a month ago, while in Lit class. I was bored from the lecture and decided to write this.

Awesome poem! Hope you make more since I know you'll do good on all of them! :D: Hope you make more anyway.:D:

good job Lady A i liked it
it flowed very well
but I kinda wanted you to go more into the darkness and insanity you hinted at in the begining ..

Thank you very much Kuwi for your comment....and I will post more up. I would love to actaully go more indepth with that first verse...but possibly as another poem. For this one...I really aimed for shortness, I felt that it would have gotton annoying if it continued on with its ryhming scheme. But that is just me...at one moment I like my poetry...then the next I get sick of it.

>.< lol it worked out well anyway but I would love to see what you come up with next :D

Yea, I'm actaully in the proccess of the poem called Insanity (Like I posted before). I suppose, I did actaully want to get more into the darkness and insanity from the first verse of my poem. After I had posted earlier, I had a line from the top of my head and started writing. So I'm multi-tasking right now (lol).

oh that was beautiful. For something you did in class with distractions and stuff :2thumbs: way nice. <---loves poetry

Ty, Ty...lol what can I say...my lecture class was just way lagging that day. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem though, it means you had a nice read. I myself love it when I read other poetry from many talented writers...it makes me feel relaxed and in the flow.
