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
