Too young to feel this old.

Love's on ice,
Tears flow down cheeks that once smiled.
Love wants to die.
Mental torture gives her closure.

A face once full of youth and eyes once so bright,
Love's too young to feel this old.
What is old? What is young?
Once you've crossed the border of your mind you're done.

Insanity and complexity takes over a childs simplicity.
Love feels the ice melt.
As the fibres clench her throat,
The bondage is done.

She's free.
Or is she?

Once you're done for,
How do looks matter?
It's all fake, it's what they call life.
Or is it?

It seems to fake to be so true.
After all, what is it?
I was inspired by 'Reasons to be Beautiful' which is an amazing noise rock song by Hole. Definitely my favourite song from that album. 'Pretty on the Inside' is my favourite album from Hole. Amazing raw energy :D

Reasons to be Beautiful : [link]

Anyway, this is about a girl who hangs herself by standing on a block of ice with a rope around her neck and waiting for it to melt. Ice can be used as a metaphor as well as literally :)

I don't even know if it's a poem or a song or what. I just threw together a few lines and decided to post it here. It's horribly short and I'm really not happy about the length. I guess it's true and that's all that matters.

I got the lines from experiences in my short life. I've never come that close to killing myself though I have wondered about it. It's complicated and I don't know what to feel.

I hope whoever reads it likes it :)

Rated mature content warning because I'm paranoid. I don't want little kids to go around trying this out.

Wow i can see love in all those forms girl you can write like REAALLY WRITE!! youd become a great writer someday i aint flattering you, i hate flattery. but yeah its like love is over rated i mean there isnt anything called love at first sighht but thats just me cos of my record. But see it doesnt matter how long it is as long as its from the heart and its true thats all matters because poetry arent words, they are an expression of the other persons feelings and words are just a form of expression. and I dont really like your poem, it feels a lot similar to my life thats why i dont like it.
