Poem #2: Extremely rough poem...What do you think?

It has no title so suggestions are welcome.

I dislike the ending.

-----------------------------------

And I think,

It's when the light goes out

Our reality twists

A million ants in this ant hill

Whatever career fits

Stumbling past neon lights

Thinking of chances I missed

And I wonder,

Maybed there's a woman somewhere

Haunted in her dreams

A girl with coal black hair

Longing to find me

And I know,

My stomach twists and turns

I haven't slept in days

The sky turns a purple haze

Waiting for a brighter day

When this crystal city crumbles

I'm coming to find you

But I stir my vodka with my straw

And I'm sure we both know

That doesn't sound like something I'd do

Does it.

: )

    Dang, I'm blonde!

    I played with it, and the ending is good, I just changed one word. Didn't feel a title, though...maybe it's untitled? Goodstuff, though...you're GOOD at this! ♥

    Doesn't really seem like your girlfriend loves you as much as you might think. If she is making you this upset and flirting with other guys in front of you, then i'm sorry hun you can find someone SO much better. Don't let yourself get hung up over some girl who's not gonna treat you right. I know it's hard... but the longer you stay with someone who upsets and mistreats you, the harder and more painful it will be in the long run. Good luck with everything.

    Is this a Joke???

    Hahah jkkkk, that's a really beautiful piece of Art. I didn't know The Joker was a poet, i thought he only sucks at life.

    Oh wait, that was the other Joker who died last year......:P

    Just a brainy idea for your last part -

    That doesn't sense like something i'd do

    just something i wish could be true

    My lamenting Wish, buoying so vainly

    into deep mysterifying blue

    That's a smooth as 15 year old Scotch my friend. Let me add my name to the people that will encourage you to keep writing poetry.

    Nicely done for a rough draft.

    This is great. I like Iris' take on it. But, I like the original too. Put it aside and come back to it in a few days. It'll all come to you then.

    wow, jokers not just a pretty face :) i like it!

    stick a '?' at the end :P and play around with the ending a little,

    the thing as a whole flows beautifully, well done! ♥

    The end : Needs either a '?' mark, or re-word it for a ray of hope.

    Again, very poignant. You are good at this, Mr. Joker.

    Nice, actually, although I'm not really a harsh critic.
