The last line of your poem will be the first line in the next person’s poem, and so on.

figment
(domino rhyme)

you imagined colors where I saw none
closing your eyes, you still see the stars
I fear it's naught ~ a mere fabrication
like a mist, my vibrancy dispelled

you imagined who I was from afar
you breathed in hope and quickly came undone
I drift away as if compelled
just a figment of your imagination

A heart in turmoil,
my soul~bereft
Reaching out for you
and finding you'd left

What changed your heart?
What's on your mind?
If I peered inside
What would I find?

Love spoke but not meant?
Love hampered by fear?
I know that I'm lost and
My darkness is near

First Line: My darkness is near

My darkness is near
it feels ever so painful
all I can feel
is the depression of it all
I have had a fall
beyond rock bottom
beyond anything ever felt before

I look up
with hope so high
higher than the wind
One day I will rise.......

First line: One Day I will rise

I'd rather not feel
the weight of 1,000 cities
the burning of over 1,000 trees
the sorrow of the sea
the wear and tear of 1,000 miles

all the pain
it would feel ever so real
real in the reality way
real in the truth
real as in that I am alive.....

As I walk these streets
I could only wonder.......

Next Line: I could only wonder.....

Shattered my view though
I once saw the future
Captured my heart... again,
how is it that you're
oblivious to the state
that you left me in..

I hate that
I love you... sometimes,

I hate that
I left myself open

FIRST LINE: I left myself open

I saw you
on the stage
rocking out
not caring one bit

this might be the last show
the might be the last time
the band could break up
you could lose your mind

but there you stood
rocking out
forgetting the bad
and embracing the good
seeing it
put a smile on my face
and soon I found myself
rocking out
enjoying life

first line: enjoying life
