Description There is a silver bullet.
Where my heart used to be.
Shining ever brightly.
Shining teasingly.

I sing and hear the echo,
Pulsing through my veins.
I sing and hear the echo.
Hear the echo.
Pulsing veins.

There is no longer shadow,
Where there is no dim part.
There only lies this bullet;
One bullet ends a start.

I sing and hear the echo,
Pulsing through my veins.
I sing and hear the echo.
Hear the echo.

I pick the stitches open,
Where my heart used to be.
I cannot feel the heartache.
I cannot even see.

I sing and hear the echo,
Pulsing through my veins.
I sing and hear the echo.

There is a silver bullet;
A lack of pumping blood.
I’ve lost control of thinking.
I’m lost inside this flood.

I sing and hear the echo,
Pulsing through my veins.

I gaze upon my footsteps.
It lies in its decay.
I pat my silver bullet.
Dear Heart, please go away.

I sing and hear the echo.

nice rhythm and structure. i'm not a huge fan of structured poetry, but I liked this. I bet this would be great as spoken word. Ever done that?

I've read my poetry outloud before, but I rather have people read it to themselves. I like to include many meanings into my poetry. I'm not someone who likes to keep things simple. Besides, I have a horrible voice. It would anything.

And thank you.

Yeah. My beginnings and endings are usually the best, from what people have told me. Thanks.

That'd be cute, but I prefer poetry to songs.

Thanks for commenting. <3
