Dragonfly Pin Pricks

By AnotherWitheredRose


The stars scream scarlet words

From cumulous clouds
falls the ruby rain
The sky is tight around my heart
squeezing out the pain


and im lying down on concrete
the weight of the world on my chest
choking back the tears
and trying to catch my breath...

Im holding a hand
that had released mine long ago
I have to deny these emotions
as to not let this new hurt show...

    It's amazing how tormented we can become and how unable to move or act,sometimes even after a great deal of time has passed. Your word choice, I felt, did a great job of not only visually presented your idea but also of allowing the reader to feel the physical sensations associated with it. Not always easy to pull off. Write on! :)
