Dark Road

Took a turn at the end of a dark road
Best place for my burdens to unload
Strangled my feelings until they died
Buried them way deep down inside
Pressure down on me until I am broken
Tortured by love words never spoken
Drowning in my own suffering pain
Burning me like a never-ending flame
Sacrificed my cold blood on the floor
For the love I have never felt before
In an empty dark, no heart can be found
Suffering through hurt with no sound
Silent eyes look on me with forebode
Made me take a turn onto a dark road

dear Depressed,

I have not read many poems with rhyming couplets (2 by 2 by 2 etc.) that are not choppy and clipped...yours is one of the few...great job. you get your ideas delivered in a plain and smooth function! very nice. by-the-way, your poem is quite relatable!! great job!

*hugs, Cat

Hello, D1,
Your poetry is always straightforward with few words, but full of meaning and emotion. The rhythm is smooth and the rhyme is logical and not forced. I especially like the first and last lines, the way they parallel each other and wrap around the entire poem.
Thank you,
L

Well done

The flow was smoothe and the rhyme was solid. Your poems always resonate with me. The reader can feel every emotion. Well done.
