"Spiral"  1 - 14 - 02



This worthless life

these tainted pages

tell a story

of a life so wasted



it's cover torn

pages faded true

it's plot so pointless

it's binding unglued



You read on

for what reason

you do not know;

like a horror show



It's imagery clear

it's words breathless

it's story apalling

of pure fiction, obvious



Then it's end

tells you so

of the soul it had

it's once radiant glow



Now faded, tainted

torn and forgotten

put on the back shelf

to die some more...

i read this poem a couple weeks ago when i was checking out your writing. i wanted to comment on it then, but i didnt have time.
i think this poem is awesome. not sure what to even say about it. you know how sometimes you read something and you are left speechless, thats how it is with this poem for me. its very expressive. truly awesome.
