Nonliving Reality

Glass. cold, dark, motionless.

screams, blood, promises

Beating heart slows to silence

dreams, nightmares, reality

Velvet curtains hide the light

shadows reflect your hate

were hearts made whole

just to break?

Mothers pain, daughters tears, fathers abuse

left, motionless, dead

unwanted

living among the dead

eerie silence

black magic

take the hate, tears, and pain

till we find the grave

Hello Hsarver here to review your interesting poem. First thing is wow, the way you express the horror and the pain is very good, it really shakes the reader up and makes them think about situations in their lives and others around the world. It was well written and I honestly can't say much negative about it. I just think you should have more comma placements, for instance, errie silence, black magic, there should be a comma there. I would just go back over and check the grammar in it, but other than that it was absolutely perfect. Good job and keep writing ! :) - Hsarver

Thank you so much! c: I'll try to keep the grammar better. :)

Hello my friend! It's BlimeyLimey here to review! Excellent job on this poem! It was very touching. I could feel the pain through the words. Your expression was perfect! Keep up the good work! I look forward to reading more of your future works!

Keep writing!
