One Good Reason

Silver does not smoke a fire. The flames are to blame for displaying the greyness. A tie never hangs a rope to a tree. The chair will not ask you to stand. When you are noosed to a rope. Hanging, you will become Snowhite. Gravity will bind your blood without a color. What did Why do to you. For one good reason. Why you always want to know. To and where my mind wonders. To and where I ever go. I whisper and I scream. I lip my mouth for a kiss when dream. Far beyond the moon shines the stars. Behind my wounds burn viscous scars. Spellbound by the words inked to my skin. Witches are cast by the demons I let in. I surrender to your thoughts. Please forgive me. Love I never treasured. Emotionless to my feelings. I am unable to surrender my heart. Sorrow I do not have to measure. What left my soul was sold. At the end. Hate is what I bought.

Hi there. A sobering subject, but raw an honest. I like your use of the short lines- it suits the tone of the poem. Also the first few lines are very philosophical and thought-provoking. Katie
