More Poetry For Pondering

Well, I'll say it. I adore writing poetry. And I guess I'm okay at it. Well, i'm gonna try and submit it for money to contests and stuff. So you're feedback is super important here. I kind of write about heavier topics. Most people like to write about love and happiness. Fuck that shit. The first poem, the worst written of the two, is kind of about abuse. It's mentioned subtly, if you pay attention then you can see where I mention it. The second is loosely based off a book I'm currently reading for english called '13 Reasons Why.' In my opinion, a very good book. Sad but brilliant. I did write a third one, but that will come later as it is total shit.

Number One

Her hands tremble

As the door slowly opens

She creeps toward the phone

Careful to walk over

The loose step on the stairs

All she can hear

Is her own breathing

Thick and heavy in the

Still quiet of the house

She grips the phone

And dials slowly

A trickle of blood from

Her forehead drips down

Onto her shaky hand

Behind her, the closet opens

But she doesn't notice

The floorboards creak

But she doesn't notice

A hand swipes over her mouth

Red and blue lights flash outside

Then blackness

Number Two

She walks down the hall

Her head kept low

Looking up for a brief moment

Her eyes lock into his

She tries to push her hair back,

It instead falls in front of her face

He smiles her way

But she doesn't see him

She's pushing through the crowd

Trying to get away from him

From the only reason that

Could keep her alive

But her mind is made up

Nothing can change that

He turns and watches her

Fight through a sea of bodies

In his mind it's also decided

He'll ask her tomorrow

Doesn't he know it'll be too late...
