Jessica Zorn Poet Rhyme

Burn the Pictures

Pour the acid in my eyes
 To burn the still frames in my mind 
 Take the memories away from me 
Because you don't exist if I can't see
To see the pain that you have caused 
Of course to you there is no loss 
Seeing is believing that much is true 
I wish I meant the same to you 
So if you please 
Before you leave 
Pour the acid in my eyes 
And burn the pictures in my mind 
Take all your memories away from me 
And you won't exist if I can't see

Monette Bebow-Reinhard August 30, 2016 at 2:10 PM I get good impassioned feeling from this, but I ask that you read it aloud, tweak it hear and there and give us a few of those vivid memories that you want erased.

Dave Timperley August 27, 2016 at 11:28 AM Ouch, this must have hurt to write such a powerful poem. If it's imagination yours is awesome. God Bless. D.

Elaheh Abdi Langaan August 24, 2016 at 12:45 PM terrific wish you all the best

James Inman August 24, 2016 at 12:23 PM I like this one very much. Great phrases and wonderful imagery, though dark. I like the refrain aspect of your first and last four lines and the shortened two lines to setup the last refrain. If it was a bit longer, it could make a nice Lyric Poem that you could set to music.

Mussa Shikome August 23, 2016 at 10:30 PM Burn the picture, nice poem when you'r reading you get a real picture of what environment were the conversation done and the feeling of the one expressing the pain.Congraturation keep moving

Reta Pruitt August 23, 2016 at 9:12 PM Jessica... loved the poem, just had to stop in and let you know...so much feeling

Candace Hodges August 23, 2016 at 8:12 PM Hey jessica, I'm Candace I just got done reading your poem burn the pictures. Burn the pictures is very exciting to me because it makes me think so much about Adele's song set fire to the rain for some reason. I believe not only are you a flourishing poet but you have what it takes to turn your poems in to songs if you wanted to and with more words and creativity, burn the pictures would make a awesome lyric sheet. Keep writing I look forward to reading more of your poem! Jessica Zorn August 23, 2016 at 8:51 PM Thank u.Im so glad I found this place.I really don't like letting people read my stuff but I have had writers block for a long time and need inspiration to write again.I do play guitar and tried to write a song but was a disaster.thank u again;)

Kelly Crenshaw August 23, 2016 at 5:22 PM Well done! Heartfelt. I like.

Jim Meissner August 23, 2016 at 3:56 PM Wonderful words to convey feeling/pain. You express an alternative of physical pain to emotional which bites harder. Far worse. physical pain caused by injury heals out and is forgotten. Emotional pain can be forever. Thank You for the write.

Partha Pratim August 23, 2016 at 3:41 PM Sad. I can feel the pain. Just amazed reading this beautiful piece.

Margaret Franceschini August 23, 2016 at 3:39 PM You reached deep into your hurting emotions and shared your pain with us. Sometimes these hurts Heal through our poetic hearts. I feel your pain. You are amazing!

Holly Bohto August 23, 2016 at 3:07 PM Omg girl. You've been through hell. To express the bleeding so freely. This is your time for your release. Write on and on and on .

Mydavolu Venkatasesha Sathyanarayana August 23, 2016 at 3:02 PM Very poignant! Touching poem indeed.

Bl Devnath August 23, 2016 at 3:01 PM Quitting from love and asking to burn all the memories in heart and mind even of face. A very sad poem my friend written beautifully. Hugs, Cloudy poet, bl

Marian Baker August 23, 2016 at 2:52 PM Your poem shows immense intent in the words "acid, burn,take, exist". I have felt this way although I think I couldn't do the burning to remove the memory. I have been married 4 times. I pay the penance and hope I am up to it "the burning". Thanks for addressing something I need to.

Mara Prose August 23, 2016 at 2:35 PM Amazing poem!

Omar Jabak August 23, 2016 at 2:33 PM If they stop loving us and treat us like we don't mean anything to them, we better forget all about them. It should go both ways. However, fond memories of truly lived moments are hard to obliterate or forget! I enjoyed reading it! Good work!

Kim Rodrigues August 18, 2016 at 6:08 PM Burning out the memory! Great work!

G. Jay August 9, 2016 at 8:03 PM outstanding.
