Well I can't sleep again so I'm just gonna post this! How I hate February. :evil :evil :evil

This is a continuation of the poem "The Day the Moon Cried."

Also inspired by the words of one of my favorite artist Otep "Art Saves."


Lunar Eclipse
by Maria Luna

A girl sleeps in the corner
A man slowly comes near her
Pointing a gun at her temple
And it was just that simple

Waking from the smell of lead
She looks at the gun on her head
You are here once again
She mutters with disdain

She stands like a puppet
Trying to forget the moment
Walking slowly to his car
She touches her past scars

She closes her eyes
Believing all of it was a lie
Bearing the pain and shame
She tries to not go insane

Remembering the gift of love
Praying to the moon above
Pretending it was alright
To not see a shred of light

She wonders if death was more painful
If her life was even meaningful
Why accept this shame
When a bullet would end this pain

Seventeen minutes later
She's thrown back to the gutter
Clean up for the next time
His voice ringing like a chime

She's alone once more
Her brain broken to the core
Why was she afraid of dying
When her life meant nothing

Crying and retrieving her mind
She wonders why the world was unkind
These words escape her lips
I don't want another lunar eclipse

Wow lunar this is amazing. 9/10

i have the feeling you are stealing them from another site. They are so original and touching. You should publish some in a news paper or idk. But you really have a talent to this.

'She wonders if death was more painful'

Have you been sleeping during your English lessons? It's "were".

Other than that, it is a decent poem. It scores a 8.

Not necessarily (actually I'd wouldn't even use 'were' in that case)substituting "were" into that part doesn't sound right anyhow.

Luna-chan, It is very beautifully written, I give you a 9.99/10

@Scimitaro - Thanks and it's alright.

@Monkeynii-chan - Thanks and no I'm not stealing them from any site. :tongue :tongue :tongue
About publishing it in the newspaper I don't know. :laugh :laugh :laugh

@Rukia - I don't know if you're being a bitch or I'm just overly sensitive these days. But there are ways to say something without being a bitch about it. I'm going to make mistakes in grammar since English is not my native language so I'm not perfect with it. But either way thanks for the rating. Also I'm keeping it as "was" cause it sounds better to me. I made this poem to express something not for my grammar to be analyzed. Butsu butsu iwanai-de!

@Losen - Thanks Losen! Hope you're feeling better! :laugh :laugh :laugh

i said that and i say again: the moon and the moonlight gives you the inspiration. you should make a book with all of your creations called "the art of the moon" or something like this.

I do love my namesake. About the book I don't think that would happen since I can't write that many poems. :laugh :laugh :laugh

Actually, you were correct all along - since "death" replaces the pronoun "it", the correct tense is indeed "she wondered if death was more painful". Rukia just like to point pseudo-mistakes in people's writings, that's all.

Well, I'll have to say the same thing I've told Hyon once... I loved your poem, I really did, but I feel the spectrum it covers (even though there's melancholy to it) is somewhat different from what I usually write, so I won't be able to really explore the whole panorama uncovered by it, which does not render it, BY ANY MEANS, a bad poem, quite the contrary. I just lack the "synchrony" with the feelings expressed (since, through my perspective, even though there is a lurid scene depicted, the predominant feeling of the poem is HOPE, while I'm more used to the "dark feeling spectrum") - thus, I'll be only be able to give a rate, without delving into its aspects deeply as I would like to.

My rating is 8.5/10. The poem is great and surely deserving of a thumbs-up.

Thanks Taylor! That really means a lot coming from you! :laugh :laugh :laugh

I've actually read some your work and love them all. Also I think hope will always be a part of me since I've experienced first hand that shadows can only be created with light. Though I believe that people should create their own hope and not wait for it to fall on their laps. :tongue :tongue :tongue

@teonaruto - it took me a while to get the joke. :push :push :push
