I am dancing on your grave
twirling a ribbon over cold corpse

Tears fall from others eyes
I smile and laugh

Why cry when you are happy?
You left the struggles and worries of people
In to a bliss full sleep

I laugh and wave bye to the sky
bye to you.
Know that she's back in the atmosphere I'm afraid that she'll think of me as a plain old Jain told a story 'bout a man who was to afraid to fly so he never did land. ~Train

This is gruesome. But in a good way. The speaker of the poem has a strong hate for someone, obviously. I wish there was more. Why do you hate this person? How did they die, why are the gone? Don't leave the reader with too many questions, just a couple is good. There is so much more that you could add to this.

I laugh and wave This probably better if you use "goodbye"bye to the sky
bye to you.


I don't really understand if the narrator's happy about the death, or he or she is happy for the dead who died, or I just don't understand 'cause it's midnight, but there seems to be something that is missing. Sorry if I can't point that out. Though I hope I helped, Keep writing! :)

She is happy for the person who died that he gets to be free

One thing I really liked about this poem is that it can be taken from different perspectives. First of all: it could be interpreted as a deep hatred of the one who has died -

Or it could be interpreted as someone you love possibly. Or the freedom of the death of the person form the struggles and worries of this life -

I have a few things to pick about it myself. Firstly:
of people spacing is wrong, just one space needed.
dasiamari wrote:I laugh and wave goodbye to the sky
goodbye to you.

The sentence feels a little short

I also think it would be nice to have the lines rhyme but that is just down to personal taste
