Young Love

Empty promises whispered to stars
Sitting on the porch while it rains
Midnight dancing to the sound of guitars
Road trips spent singing on trains
Smoke filled rooms that smell like cigars
Blindfolds and handcuffs playing games
Ecstasy high feeling like superstars
Sharing stories of sadness and pains 
Watching tail lights of speeding cars
Alcohol and drugs running through veins
Broken hearts and open scars
Blood stained sheets and bruised forearms
Speeding on highways and switching lanes
Drunk fist fights in closing bars
Morning after popping pills for migraines 
Experience altering young adult brains

Sounds like a good Saturday night out to me, ok, not really lol. I’d call this form quatrain. Very well written, I like it, you’re a natural rhymer. Take care, Richard

Wow, to me, this starts so innocent and beautiful but quickly becomes excessive, you've shown how life can spiral out of control so quick. great writing :)
