Alone,
Forgoten,
You don’t care,
You’ve left me behind,
To burn,
the flames are upon me,
Yet I feel no warmth;
Only the coldness you’ve left in my heart,
The dissapointment,
The stinging pain,
Now im drowning,
Not in water,
But in your rumors and lies
You’re a vampire sucking away my happiness,
A king declaring I shall live no more
But for what gain?
My suffering
Brings you joy,
Accomplishment
But soon,
You will burn and be crushed
By a friend ,
I call carma

Good poem and I like the flow of it.

Alone,
Forgotten,
You don’t care.
You’ve left me behind
To burn.

Yet I feel no warmth;
Only the coldness you’ve left in my heart,

The stinging pain,
Now I'm drowning,

The lines in blue are the ones I like. You capture the emotions well.

I like the ending, too. It's all sad then saying "you better watch your back".
Good work! And I like your avatar :)

Nice piece.. the metaphors were really helpful.
I would recommend running this through spell check.. there were quite a few spelling errors, which was pretty distracting. I would also suggest omitting or changing the comparison you made to a vampire.. for some awful reason, whenever anyone now so much as hears the word vampire, they automatically think of Twilight. This is not a relation you want to have to your poem.
The ending hit really hard in this piece... wonderfully done. Love the tone, and the change of emotion throughout this. Great job. :)
