Yeah, I know I'm ending it a bit early, and I'm sorry. Anyways, here are the results:
1st Place- Annette:
Killing Me Softly, And Slowly
As I lay here in my bed, I can feel your presence in the room.
And I feel a charge of energy run though my body, although I know your not really here.
As I look up at the blue moon, I remember how you used to console my fears.
But now, you are my fear, for your killing me softly, and slowly.
Feeling so cold and lowly, I sometimes wish you were here.
I feel run down my face, tears.
Of joy, they used to be, but now of fear, anger, and sadness.
I am now feeling madness, thinking of you.
Wondering how we were ever called two.
Maybe I didn't treat you as good as you wanted.
But now I feel haunted.
Please stop killing me, slowly, and softly.
My eyes still bear tears.
As I lay here in my bed, I can feel your presence in the room.
Although I know your not here.
Congrats, Annette!
2nd Place- Sol_Luna_Estrella
Shattering
No sun of flaming tongues is soaring down;
The core has subtly broken; how could there be light?
Withered trees shield the earth from nothing.
No shadow—
No light will break.
All clouds; the world is dead.
It waits for the living: something not dead—
Something to dance away the void as it sweeps down….
A dawn waiting, just waiting, ever waiting, eternally waiting to break
Through the heavens, where concealed is a warm glow of light,
But it never will; no light, no shadow…
…Nothing.
The scenery is blank, all the same, nothing.
No spark, no depth, to raise the world from the dead.
Anything real was shoved into fake shadow,
All imposters thrown there, down
Into pseudo-light.
And rebellion only makes the dead trees break.
Time is gone; watch the seconds break
As if what held them in place is now nothing.
No hours can force the iridescence of light
Into a soft, liquid realm of the dead;
Dreams, questions, goals prowled in places past and down,
They lurk in lifeless trick shadow.
Color is lost in the midst of a shadow
That is gone, that is shapeless, that was fragile—did it break?
No wild, dissonant harmonies shriek down,
And if they did—they would mean nothing.
It is all dead—dead—dead:
All that claims it is darkness or light.
And the skies are heavy with the pressure of light
That tries, tries to cast its shadow
Through the seams of massive clouds, dead
With weariness of refusal to let light cascade and break,
And all their efforts come to nothing
As a single thread of shadow creeps down
And dangles down from the firmament;
And with shadow fly fairies of light, streaming through nothing,
Shattering as they break among dead grasses.
Congrats, Sol!
3rd Place- GreenMooseOfDoom
I'm shifting into shadows
I'm melting into dark
Letting go and sinking
Into the unlit arc
Let yourself go
Lower and lower
Inhale the blackness like air
Dizzying and sinking deeper
Spiraling down the chute
Embracing the abyss
Scented smoke billowing
Exhale, dive deeper still
Become one with the night.
Congrats, Moose!
