Scars and Raincoats: Still Drowning

By Fading_Smile

Like clouds that hide stars, I dare to relive these stains
Cuts that ran like waterfalls just to keep me breathing
I buried stories beneath scars, birthing angels in veins
A conception in a grave we mourned with a lack of irony
I bled with the sky, misplacing every rainbow
Colorblind ambition drenched in emptiness
Drowning in fire and knives, just outside her window
Prophets of delusion burdened by a razor’s kiss

Storms come and go with rain and snow to remind us of those days
When cuts could heal and wind could steal my smile until it fades

Somewhere between art and a funeral
My eyes were rinsed with a sincere fallacy

My inner storm rages on, raining on my smile, and I am lost in memory

  • A former member wrote: I thought that this poem is very original and also it created a lot of imagination and emotion. I can feel a relation to your poem and its pain. Keep writing, your style is good.

  • A former member wrote: "Somewhere between art and a funeral" Sombre w/ excellent texture (& some good internal rhyme). Love the title... I only dislike the last line, the question, as I've heard it before (I'm not saying that "P" word; just the concept - it's the only line I'd try and make more original). I like all the rest, espc. the line I quoted: that's very original! Well done.
