Roses On A Grave

Roses on a grave.
Now you’re alone, unknown.
Once loved, and envied.
Not envied anymore.
Our love is distant.

Revelations.
Took me awhile to sort through my denial.
I was once bitter, and cynic.
I’m cynical no more.
My bitterness has vanished.

Retrospective.
I can now move on. My pain is gone.
Once hurt, I was burned.
Painless I am now.
Burned, I am not.

I did, so that you may forgive me.
If you could, if you can.
If you know, if you’ve seen.
Forgive me, forgive me please.

If you will

Hate me.
In ways that hurt sliding down your throat.
Because I deserve it. I have it coming.
For all the trouble and sorrow I caused you.

Vindicate yourself.

And then forget me within the next few seconds.
So that you may be free of my stranglehold.

Be free in your lifeless body, of what I am.
So I know you no longer have a distaste for me.
Because you've forgotten what I taste like.

I think you could do without the second 'you're'... making the line "Now you're alone, unknown." If you want to keep the same count try "Now you are alone, unknown." Also, the "Nobody envies anymore" does not seem to fit, maybe more like "Not envied anymore" or a synonym for envy... since you use it in the line above?

Here is where I would make things a bit more complex... You wrote, "Took me awhile, I'm now out of denial", watch how this changes things... "Took me awhile to sort through (my) denial", first, it makes denial seem almost concrete, leaving the reader with a tangible thing to grasp and you use a bit more of a fancy language and idea.

"I'm cynic no more" is grammatically incorrect, you would have to say either 'I'm a cynic no more' or 'I'm cynical no more'

Again, this line seems simple in nature in comparison to the ideas here. Another example would be changing it to something like (forgive me this may be a terrible example but it is more the idea I want you to see) 'I can now overcome the pain that numbed'

Your form faults here. You used the last word in the third line in the previous stanzas and carried it to the fourth line. It is a big stumble as a reader to have it in the fifth line here. You may want to rework that bit.

Forgive me, forgive me from the higher above.
I think you want the comma after 'did' and not after 'so'

'from the higher above', you are missing something, from the higher what above?

Quote:

Because you don’t remember what I taste like.
Your ending paled here, the first two lines were fantastic and then... I am not sure here how you want to go about that. I know what you are getting at, it is just lacking in comparison to the two lines prior. Even as simple as 'because you have forgotten my taste', or even changing it completely to something like 'because I can not forget your taste' hmmm, will have to think about that one. Let me know when you are satisfied here.

Again, your ideas never cease to amaze me. You bring things we all face to the surface in your words with ease, and I love that.

Re: Roses On A Grave

Ok, made some edits. Believe it or not those lines:
"I can now move on. My pain is gone"
"Forgive me, forgive me from the higher above."

Were really the ones that got to me when I was writing it, I just hated them so much. lol. I spent awhile thinking about them. And the first one I really couldn't think of a way to reword it without changing the whole stanza up, so I left it. And for the other one I'm looking at it now and I'm wondering why I didn't change that a long time ago *Click click and click* I fixed it up, not so cliche now, more of a pleading.... thing... stuff... lol. I like it this way a lot more than "from the higher above" I must've been secretly drugged or something while writing that part because it was plain old stuuupid. . Thanks for taking this one, Bri. I am decently satisfied with it now... I guess, as satisfied as I will get at least. Thanks again.

Tay
