It was all a lie (PLEASE read! Please leave comments!)

Do you see the girl there?
The one crumpled at the bottom of the cliff
With a hole in her chest,
Her innocent blood pooled in ringlets around her.

The broken pieces of her heart cutting gashes deep within the hands that she clings to them with.
You left her this way
You told her sickly sweet lies doused in cyanide
Blind folded her to the truth
And said through clenched teeth you’d take care of her
And never hurt her…

Until

The bath of her tears you drowned her in
The poisoned lies you shoved down her throat as she begged you for release
The deceit you slipped into her mind as she slept.
The bruises that marked her as your own.

You drug her to the edge
Teetered her there as she pleaded for safety
You cooed soft things to her as you walked behind her
She felt safe as your arms encircled her.

But she was so corrupted by you
So entangled in your lies
She felt no need to worry
No need to fear
Even though you'd hurt her before.

You had brought her to the edge like always
But this time it was different
She didn’t feel the gun at her back

Until

BOOM!
I am not the pretty pink punk princcess like most people assume
I am the angel of death passing out notices
And you are next on my list
Your days are numbered

Very dark indeed. Blindfolded is one word. Stanza 4 "you dragged her...". Drug is not the past tense of drag.

:cool:

Punk.
I've said it before and I will say it again.
I love the images in this poem!!!! :D
:thewave:
I wanna just run away
I just wanna hide
I just wanna erase the past
And just curl up inside
I don't wanna see the world go round
I wanna go back to bed
Sleep till the pain dissappears
I wanna be with you again
