This is the first time I've written in years due to a person bashing my writing and abilities. It's been hard for me to get the courage to post here and welcome critique. I named it:
Quelling the Ominous Tide
Hands cupped over the wires
In an attempt to ease the pain
Regrets and memories of lost
Like the red splatters overcoming the grey
The spider-webbed hands of trees
Surround this decrepit place
Oh so dearly, forgotten, locked away
The beauty, long lost waste
A mirror of water shows the sky
Dancing like a runaway bride
Rippling, deceiving
The depths of the secrets that they hide
Knelt down over the shadows
I bleed this rust
Wires entangle my body and wings
Of all the reasons I don't trust
Grown from every heart break
This mast ejected from my chest
I could not find
A reason to digress
I wander on
To collapse in this desolate fantasy
Only to find that I can never escape
Myself, my enemy
I let go, remove, forget
Everything brought on by these dreams
Casting out the demons that haunt me
These vile seductive fiends
If only purity could be replaced
I'd trade the sky away
To lay down in the dark
And watch the world decay
