Bed of Roses
by Amanda C. (Age: 17)
copyright 05-22-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
Hold me now, while I’m still here
Bring me close or disappear
This bed of roses, too, has thorns
That feast upon my flesh
Wishing I was never born
But never to confess

Sleeping, I am tossing
Bleeding, I am turning
Dreaming, I am dying once again

Holding these poisoned pillows close,
Before I melt away
If I could open up to scream,
There would be left to say

I am lost
I am lost
I am broken
Broken
Why do I feel
This insecure?

What is the cost?
What is the cost?
When will I
Be awoken?
Don’t fall ill
To this allure.

My life has always been a bed of roses,
Dead and dying over and more again
My life has always been a bed of roses,
I don’t think I’ll be awaking anymore, again

Chained against this demon bed
For so many moonless nights
Madness running rampant in my head
Screeching, it burns and bites

Hold me now, while I’m still here
Bring me close or disappear
This bed of roses, too, has thorns
That feast upon my flesh
Wishing I was never born
But never to confess

Wow...very emotional and deep. Excellent, Amanda! You used many good images to let the reader be able to feel what you feel, share your sorrow and pain. Hope it all works our for you.

A really good poem and a good way to express it using something else (the roses) the describe how you feel and whats going on.
the only spelling mistakes i found were in the second paragraph last line
'dieing' should be 'dying'
and then again the same word in the 6th paragraph 2nd line down part from that a real work of art you got here :) keep writing.

Your poem really makes the reader feel the intense feelings of pain and sorrow. The poem does an excellent job on the imagery part. Keep up the good work and I hope to read more of your work.

wow!! This is a great poem. But I am with Anthony the thorns do hurt but the flower is blooming. All you have to do is find the right person and those thorns would disapeer. If you ever need somneone to talk to you can talk to me.

The thorns do hurt, but the flower blooming is what we want. You have to take the good with the bad, for love is not always a walk down a sunny lane! This is a nice poem and written well. The roses are beautiful! Thanks, Anthony
