Black Masking Tape

by Frozen-Demigod33

So this is just a short little poem I wrote. This is the first thing I've posted too, so please don't judge too harshly. Much appreciated. My poem is a little dark, just so you know. side note: I did not get this out of a book or anything. I'm new to this and am not sure what to select for a category since this poem is entirely my own, so if anyone could tell me how, thanks.

Black Masking Tape

crack, snap, crunch goes the sound of a breaking heart

after the tears splash and a door slams and the loneliness begins,

one can hear the faint sound of a stretching noise as shaking, slender

fingers pull black masking tape to conceal the cracks that lie on the heart.

again and again those sounds repeat and roll after roll goes the black masking tape.

constantly on the search for love and peeking around every corner, craving it.

but again and again your poor, sweet heart is broken,

until all that's left is a taped, tattered heart, wrapped tightly in a bitter, cold black

oh, heart of stone, where has your sweetness gone?

dark, hardened features dance across your face as you walk your lonely road

and grip your lovely, black masking tape

as time wears on, your heart grows colder and dark thoughts ensnare your attention

and one more time, just once more you pull out your black tape and head out

once again, faint stretching sounds can be heard again and a soft slapping sound

as the tape covers the surface of ill-fated mouths.

crack, snap, crunch is also the sound of an axe meeting a skull

but silent are the lovers of the hard-hearted girl as they drop to the ground

blood trickling down and lying abandoned in an alley, they lay

with mouths sealed shut with black masking tape
