Lost in a profound environment;1
a land seeped with memories and ghosts2
the flickering shadows of my past3
Different blurs come and pass4
as the mystery is still yet to be solved5
how i became this monster6
tearing itself apart with the razor of your unforgiving love7
Pain stirs within myself; this was harder than it seemed8
and it seemed pretty hard in the first place.9
The detached hurt swirls in my stomach10
as a dark ocean swelling in the storm11
The wind howls in the distance, sending the coldest 12
chills down the spine of my back.13
as your kisses create shivers, cause goosebumps to rise14
in their wake15
My hair stands on end, too, as the kiss becomes so real, it is surreal16
your lips crawling down my bare neck17
baby, where i am i? 18
besides lying in your arms, 19
lieing in your arms.20
What I say shocks you; I can see in your face, there is no reason to explain the current feeling21
You take my arm and try to explain, anyways22
no matter what happens, there's no going back23
and regret is just another way of saying24
i'm sorry you found out, sweetie25
next time you wont hear about it, i promise26
not necisarily that you wont do it again27
that i wont do it again28
For really, all I want is to be with you, and you only.29
but its no surprise to me30
'cause after all, 31
i am my own worst enemy 32
sabotaguing myself into this chemical romance33
of stabbed hearts and bleeding roses34
Did you not know that nature could contain all of this?35
Well, it can, so suck it up and enjoy it while it is here.36
cause we're all temporary and 37
only death is permenant in this game of life38
we're both pawns, baby39
Just sitting on a chess board, 40
waiting to be crashed by the stronger enemy on the other team.41
or maybe there is no other team42
and we put ourselves out43
only to push ourselves down 44
eternally battling a war with that person inside ourselves45
Then we soon open our eyes and relize what had overcome us;46
Stunned, we look around, bewildered at our new discovery,47
for what is soon to come is still not discovered.48
and we may not like what is to be known49
but hey, it probably needs to be known50
and we cant really help it.51
sweetie, your skin tastes bitter... like the peeled skin of an apple52
and just like that, youre hollow underneath that shell53
and as I open up that shell, I am completely shocked at what I find:54
an uncaring thing --> A thing called unconcern55
I never thought that life would be so difficult with that thought lingering in my mind 56
of the apathy you carry within57
like the plain grey sky over the clouded surface of a mirror58
i no longer know myself59
because i no longer know you60
or what your past was; maybe it was just a illusion... 61
Am I truly in a long, constant dream? Or am I in a living hell?62
life is just a percepted reality, and really does it matter63
when everything is the element of a nightmare?64
When everything gets into a tangled mess;65
sometimes I stop to wonder -> Am I the only one out there?66
perhaps everyone else is just an illusion,67
even you, a mirage in a desert of hate and burning stares68
could you be just as fake as the others69
trust is such a complicated gift, and 70
its usually traded in for a newer, shinier toy anyway71
everything today reminds me of the gash72
where i was stabbed in the back73
and every corner I turn there seems to be somebody getting used or hurt.74
or, ever more often, i find myself staring back from around the alley corner,75
crying the tears of pain and filled with knowledge of misplaced trust76
each drop shattering on the ground and cutting the skin of my soul 77
baby, youre reflection is in those pools of blood78
eyes looking past me into the distance79
of paper flowers and glitter rain80
You really don't understand me very well, do you? 81
Well hear me out, because if you truly don't uderstand, and even if you are with me or a thousand miles away, you will never get me.82
because i love you too much for my own good83
so thats the reason i have to look away

Accually, this poem was pretty good :]
I love how each line seemed to flow and mend together with the next, but please check your grammar, mmkay? I did see alot of errors, such as lowercase "i"'s and most of the lines weren't capitalized. But besides that, it was pretty good, and I liked it enough to not totally murder you for your errors XD
Great job, and I wish you the best of luck in my contest! Thank you for entering! n.n

No, I actually liked this ~ the subject matter made it interesting and kept my attention. Be careful when using punctuation in your piece, if you do use it at all, follow through the whole piece or the reader gets lost with starting and stopping points. best of luck in the contest
