Brilliant Rose, Broken Moment
By: Savannah Harrison


It was a perfect murder,
Where the protagonist and antagonist,
Could never be differentiated.
It was such a brilliant rose,
Given at such a broken moment,
And no one will ever know.
A love like a million shards of glass,
You pick them up so swiftly,
Cut deep into the bone.
It's a crying shame our bond broke us,
Raped us till we bled,
Destroyed our bodies and pillaged our minds.
It's a crying shame that seven digits in a row,
Have come to be my biggest fear,
And that the number haunts my home.
I'm sorry that my body is your temple,
That red lines intersect the fragile skin,
In a memorial to you.
A perfect match,
Like puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly,
But puzzles are for children...and we're much to old.
We were poison for each other,
Skull and crossbones in our blood,
A death sentence in our love.
It was such a brilliant rose,
Given at such a broken moment,
Where everyone wore black, and a holy man preached...
Of Heaven, Hell, and everything no one really knows.

omg...this was so deep and i absolutley loved it!!..i think i'm first...maybe second

beautiful. absolutely beautiful.

I don't get alot of the poems in this forum..maybe I don't go deep enough?!?!?!?!?!?... ...that was brilliant..like what a critic says for a movie...it as a masterpiece...hehe

I really, really like that. I thought it was absolutly brilliant. Long poems are pretty hard for me to follow, but it was still great.
