Literature Text

Feels like I've danced with the devil
Too many times in my short life.
Stared him straight in his ugly eye
As he stared right back at mine.
And as we danced, he'd whisper in my ear
All about his twisted life.
So he'd say that I'd see him soon,
And I dance with the devil tonight.
---

If roses are red and violets are blue,
then where does that leave me and you?
If curiosity killed the cat,
then maybe you should bring him back.
If two's company and three's a crowd,
then get out because it's getting loud.
---

Good night, sleep tight.
Don't let the bed bugs bite you awake
Because when you wake I'll be gone,
I'll be gone forever.
---

Nobody in the room is breathing
Silently, I shut the valve for the air they breathe in
Stop me, before the room is empty - I am empty.
I feel no human empathy.
---

And the fire that night
Sparked a fire inside of me.
But that fire won't last forever -
Every fire goes out eventually.
---

If life is just a game
Then why can't you reload what happened yesterday?
Have all your lives run out,
Or have you died and just clicked 'no'
When asked to try again?
---

You're my toxic girl - toxic girl,
You poison my mind, you poison my soul
With your toxic, girl.
And you know it, girl.
You poison my heart and you've poisoned my mind.

Various ideas and titles: 'As useless as a suicide bomber in a zombie apocalypse', 'Smile you to sleep'.
Would like to write a poem regarding events surrounding when I suffered my depression and suicide attempts, but I can't seem to do it, both because it's just simply difficult to write and I don't want to sound attention-whorey or emo-ish. Still, I'm adamant in doing it, even if it does turn out slightly depressing.
Collection of unfinished poems I'm working on and various ideas.
I haven't made a poem since 'Roses Aren't Red for Me', and I say that discounting 'Ring, Ring' because I think that one's pretty poor. But I have been trying to; I haven't just abandoned my poetry, I just simply can't seem to write a full-length poem of any worth.

So, I decided to upload a selection of my unfinished works. That's right, selection. These aren't even half of them, the others are just of lower quality in their current form. Some of the ones I've even included here may have an extra verse or too already written for them, but I haven't included them for various reasons. Some of these have titles already and may be completed one day and uploaded, whereas most of them won't.

Tell me which ones you think are any good, if any, and I'll try my hardest to flesh them out.

3. Wow, all of them are equally wonderful in my opinion! So much feelings, emotions and also wonderful description! I have to say I love the dance with the devil one - it has to be one of my all time favourites :)
