Beautiful Scars Poet Acrostic

With Bated Breath

Whispers curtailed into the cobalt sky
Inspired by diminished reasons why
Twisted into favorite memories
Half bent over, weeping with willow trees

Betrayal never mute when fear prevails
Anticipation of my heart that wails
Temptation shows no alleviation
Expecting all that resents creation
Decreasing heartbeat; devoid elation

Barren fields mourn, for I am left breathless
Regretting my past, leaving me restless
Eroded lava brick engraved my soul
And bated me until I turned to coal
Thirsty for oxygen so I can live-
Hungry for my purity to forgive


10 syllables in each line
