Moons of Fate

Crescent Moons

On the Skin

Pouring Crimson

From within

 

Anger flowing

Slow and Hot

They try to make me

What I'm Not

 

Cause in Their minds

That's all I am

A Backstabber

So calm, then WHAM!

 

The Knife is there

Plunged oh so deep

And how it makes me

Want to Weep

 

Because it's not They

Who will die

It's Me, yes Me

Myself and I

 

I'm waiting now

On Crimson wings

To finally hear

The angels Sing

Author's Note

Should I change the title, or does it work? And of course, be honest on whether or not you like it:)

Its so sad. Even as I see where this comes from you must learn to forgive those who betray. Once you're gone the will see what they have lost so it doesn't seem right to dwell on that pain.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Thanks, and I know I know. It's just so f*****g hard to let go sometimes.

[Rekain]

Thoughtful rhyme and many meanings. I like this, but I seem to want to think too much into it.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Why, what does it make you think of?

[Rekain]

One that's pushed, pushed way to far. Then they snap, fall and get revenge, but stop and realize it will not help. Wait and wait again for death to take the rage within.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

She's pushed, yes, and way to far for her to handle, but she doesn't try to get revenge. She feels as if she's being killed by the person who's pushing her passed her boundaries, as if the pain of it is too much for her to bear.

I think the title is very fitting.. I liked it. You're 16 right, if you feel comfortable answering what makes you write on a topic like this? It's beautifully written and I enjoyed the writing structure/style very much it even flowed well and granted good imagery. I'm just curious what inspires such content coming from a fun loving girl as yourself.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Yes I'm sixteen, and this was inspired by some family problems I've been having since I was about twelve or thirteen. My step mother and I don't get along very well, and she tends to think that I'm only out to destroy our family and her. I'm really not, but she won't believe me, and it hurts like hell because I don't mean to hurt anybody, but apparently I'm pretty damn good at it... I've tried to make things better, but I don't know how, and sometimes it feels like it could kill me it hurts so bad... Even sixteen year olds have to face the reality of this cruel world...

Life is not a fairy tale, so you do what you can too enjoy it and drown out the pain...
