PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm the girl with a pale-white,

Tear-stained face

Curled into a ball in a corner

Beneath a blanket of cold

Excuses, lies, and smiles.

The weak girl lying

In a pool of blood and tears,

Drowning in bitterness

And crimson choking

Up in her throat,

With black eyes,

Damp hair,

And I'm laughing

The glowing diamonds all around

Mirror my only paradise.
