Love is Dead

When your heart goes mad, everything dies

Love is dead

Shot dead on Heartbreak Avenue

Murdered in broad daylight

All the witnesses said the same thing

They said you pulled the trigger

 

Hope was kidnapped

Stuffed into a bag to be tortured

Thrown into a windowless van

Drove away in the middle of the day

An elderly couple said you did it

 

Trust committed suicide

Hung itself in front of everyone

Jaws dropped and tears were shed

Everyone cried except for one

They say you sat there and smirked

 

A troubled goodness died

Beat senseless in a mall

Silence became a deafening sound

Hundreds of people watched

Goodness died by your hands

 

Happiness drowned

Bound by rope and pushed in

The dirty river water swallowed it whole

Two fisherman nearby were watching

They said you killed happiness

 

The heart that brought these things together

Can be found in rehab

Sitting in a dark corner driven mad

The nurse’s can easily tell

That this heart is crazy for you

The cinematic quality of this is enough to reach out and touch if it doesn't reach out and grab you itself. The only thing that plagues me is the very last line "That this heart is crazy for you" it doesn't seem to fit with the flow to me. Aside from that this is a piece deep enough to see one's own reflection. J'adore

I would say that the "spurned lover" poem is a bit overdone, but your personifications of love, etc. kept it interesting.

....holy.....freaking....shiz.... O.O

That is so amazing..and creative...and I love it! It's so amazing and said and painful. you can feel the hurt rolling off the page, and bitterness, perhaps anger. I freaking love this, so much.
