And when you’d starve me for attention, Fed me more from your breast Til you filled me up . And then I’d look you in the eyes Sugar broiling in the stomach Am I pretty now .. Lost, full, and quite ignored When you had leapt onto the floor And said we’ve got to go . I grabbed your hand and followed blind My stomach churned I lagged behind You were the love I know . You said we’re going to the sea My dear you’ll spend a life with me We’ll make the waves a home . And I smiled ear to ear Cheeks were blushing like a deer Am I pretty now .. And then we made it to the bay quickly climbed into a boat They never have to know . We headed south for centuries They cannot take the memories I never hunger now . And after weeks of solitude A stranger came into the view There was another boat . My stomach burned, concerned, Not a soul had stood astern You produced a rope .. You gave a gentle kiss And slid the twine across my wrists And tied them into knots Dipped my legs into the water Either hand tied either helm Stretched into a cross I looked up at you in fear Just to see you’ve disappeared I started crying out. My stomach burned under the water And the sun was getting hotter And I’m all alone. I pleased come to feed me Don’t leave me weak, depleting I got no response. The fish were getting curious Flies buzzed something furious They knew what I did not That if you leave out milk and honey In the heat, in weather sunny, It’ll start to rot. . Months had passed in sickly motion Head leaned back, my eyes were open I died long ago. The bugs ate at my open mouth My skin was yellow, wrought with drought My throat housed a mold The waters smelled of sulfate As the serpents ate my stomach ache My blood has washed away The rope gave up on hope and Threw my purple, molten corpse into the ocean Am I pretty now? . . . 5 votes

 i remember the day that they died. 
 you called me at work in the
 middle of my shift shooken up,
 you wailed and cried
 you were hours away
 divorce was on the horizon
 your mother
 she went to get the last of her things
 brothers in tow, each under her wings
 wanting to grab their toys, their cars,
 living in an apartment, left the trampolinethe pool's mostly empty now, and green. i was always taught that ghosts scream 
 that any haunted house is a broken record
 out of a low-budget horror scene
 blood on the walls, ripped at the seams,
 what they never tell you in the movies
 is that the real scare is going to the house
 six months later and finding it emptyand silent. all that's left is the memory of the violent 
 no one left to water the yard
 grass is yellow, in the garden
 wilted violets
 and the paintings still hang on the walls.
 the lamp is still there on the nightstand
 the pots and pans are still in the kitchen
 the paper is still on the desk
 everything is still where it should be
 every item right where it was left
 except this sudden void in your soul
 and the unending feeling of being depressed
 and lost,scared a lost lamb in a land once shared 
 a home where you would draw or write
 and now all that's left is light
 flittering in through the windows
 that just feels so out of place
 paintings on the floor covering up
 the holes where the bullets laid
 open casket you broke down
 at the sight of his little facegod what a fucking monster two years now since the day you lost her 
 and i have no idea how you are.
 i took it upon myself to watch over you, a foster
 and hoped to show you real love after this imposter
 came into your life and ripped it in pieces
 with this targeted hatred and ceaseless screaming
 god if i could go back in time.even still now i wish to trade their lives for mine even if it just meant another day, 
 maybe one last time for you to
 share a smile or say goodbye
 to make peace and hug your mom
 or read harry potter to your brothers here
 in person and not occasionally from beyond
 the grave that plays that same god-fucking-forsaken
 song as the house does when you visit.silence. why dont they play music in the graveyards. why dont they play music in the graveyards. 7 votes

I don't know much about it, except the few things I learned in school and i can't remember most of it. Also english is my second language and there might be some words that don't fit in. 
 The changes in lines and rythm are intended to match the story.
 If this does not meet the high-quality content and discussion and therefore doesn't fit in with ~, let me know and I will remove it.To stop my rambling: Feel free to leave criticism. I plan to make poetry my hobby so any tips, comments, feedback and thoughts are appreciated. Somewhere, deep in the wild Layed there, Cold a little child. It wasn't very long ago, The rotten did not show, All consuming deafening silence, Pierced only by crows crying violent. What happened here? She ran from fear. To escape the grasp, Of the ones she hold dear. One soul has passed before her, Taking with his life, The only thing she ever strived Her mother, father and her brother Two of these caused the disaster. It began with a fight, In a cold winter night, Snow falling lightly, And the ice growing wildly. Suddenly the moment when all seemed to fly Death was potent Coming in the blink of an eye. Crushed by the car's roof, Not needing any more proof. The little boy left, She cried over his death Sad things passed and bad will follow. To escape the sorrow Two chose their paths Alcohol in mornings and nights, Followed by overbearing fights, Inbetween this shit Was one little kid Treated like air, It was just not fair Her family's break, Was the last thing she could take She ran into the woods, Only on foot. Soon she lost her trail And soon after she wailed. In her last thoughts she met her god. Looked him deep in the eye And pierced him with a knive Somewhere, deep in the wild Layed there, Cold a little child.Edit: Formatting mistakes 17 votes
