Bitter Tragedy

Bitter tragedy
wounded so deep
suicidal thoughts
tend to keep
burning hot temper
tricks and treats deceive me
loss to be i truly seek

Conflict of mind where to turn
cobwebs of cold
constricting my sight
dwelling in this place
I do not fight

Never again
will this joyful play take place
bitter tragedy Is what I pray
loosing grip, I let go
listening to the reaper say my name
taunting me to come and play
bitter tragedy for mine to keep
awaking not
For in death i sleep

"awaking not
For in death i sleep"

those lines are great ..also the poem is amazing :)

This piece has a nice flow that keeps pace with the poem well. It feels almost like a downward spiral to the final stanza, and the closing line is powerfully bleak. You captured the emotions that trap the minds of so many perfectly, and infused them in the piece leaving it dark and twisted. Very well penned

I can feel the emotion in this, and that's why i enjoyed it. I love stories/poems that really get deep and describe something so crudely, like you did.
