PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

clear water running in
red water water pouring
over the edge

like a painters canvas
red over the porcelain white
I can see the picture when
I close my eye's

voices screaming hurting my ears
please someone make them stop
then I realize....
the screams are mine

there will be no phoenix rising out of
the ashes to start a new life
only the unanswerable questions
of why

I guess we all get tired of fighting
the demons in our heads
sometimes I wonder when I'll give in

tears on a tombstone
black roses I lay

there's another ghost to add

to the long list of names
I carry in my head
the ones I failed

I ask myself where did I go wrong
what was it .......

I didn't I see
what should I of done

red over porcelain white stands out

in the darkness in my mind
I still wonder why
