Sirens are singing through the storm
A white rose Blooms in a garden of thorns 
                 A Darkening Sky
                 A Hallowed Cry
                    Sirens are Singing 
                      But you never ask why                      
Emergency Lights flash in the cold
A Struggle that has long since grown too old
                 Silence Rushing In
                 Whispers in the Wind
                     The Darkness Seeping in
                        But you never ask why
        All of Her Thoughts
      Are Outlined in Chalk
    Wrapped in Yellow Tape
   So They Never Escape
Sirens are singing through the storm
A white rose Blooms in a garden of thorns   
                 A Darkening Sky
                 A Hallowed Cry
                    Sirens are Singing 
                      But you never ask why        
Somewhere you hear wedding bells ring
There's choir in the church but you never hear them sing
                  There's No Groom
                  There's No Bride  
                     Wedding Bells Chime                                           
                       But you never ask why
                     All of Her Thoughts
            Are Outlined in Chalk
     Wrapped in Yellow Tape
  So They Never Escape
Sirens are singing through the storm
A white rose Blooms in a garden of thorns   
                 A Darkening Sky
                 A Hallowed Cry
                    Sirens are Singing 
                      But you never ask why   
A Tempest Rages through the night
Families cowering, Lightning strikes 
                 Shadows Of Doubt
                 Power Goes Out
                     No One Calls Help
                        But You never Ask Why
                                        All of Her Thoughts
                            Are Outlined in Chalk
               Wrapped in Yellow Tape
  So They Never Escape   
                            Sirens are singing through the storm
                     A white rose Blooms in a garden of thorns                 
This poem is meant to be read at 3 speeds. Have the first part read very slowly. Then when you see the first part (sirens are singing through the storm) a second time around the 1/3 mark start reading at a normal pace. Then when you see that part for the thrid time at the 2/3 mark read quickly. when you see it the forth time at the very end read it at whatever speed you consider your heartbeat to be moving at (fast medium slow, if your heart is beating hard then it consider it fast)

Wow, You did a great job with it, you made it flow very well, and that is what made me wan to keep reading it.

The concept of this is very simple and easy to understand and to relate too. Your good at getting your feelings out in the open.

Your rhyming is very good, that is something I'm not too well with. It's fun to play with and see how long you can go, and to see what you can make from it, great job again.

I feel this is a good style for you, and you may want to work with this style and see how many more you can get from this idea, keep up the great work.
