If only, If only

Contributed by CBlake on Wednesday, 13th July 2005 @ 04:45:26 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

I clutch my
Bloody wrist
And sob,
For I can still feel
The steady beat
Of life
Flowing through
My veins.
I hold my hand
To my chest
And cry to myself
“If only, if only...”
And so the
Torturous games
Begin...
“If only-
He were rich.
How easy life
Could be,
With no
Financial worries
To plague his mind
And no troubles
For he is rich.”
“If only-
He were kind.
How easy life
Could be.
All stationary objects
Would stay
In place
Never airborne
For he is kind.”
“If only-
I didn’t play
These games.
How easy life
Could be.
I would be
Incapable of
Imagining
Better things
For I don’t play
These games.”
But I am me.
I am-
Unworthy,
Useless,
Worthless,
And helpless.
I am me,
And he is not
Rich or kind.
This becomes
My personal epiphany,
As I clutch my
Throbbing, bloody wrist
And cry to myself
“If only, if only...
it were okay to die.”

hey i like it... i think some of the thoughts should be more complete before you change to the next line and finish it... idk, like...

"I clutch my -
Bloody wrist -
And sob,"

i think should all be one line... like

'I clutch my bloody wrist and sob,
for i can still feel the steady beat
of life, flowing through my veins'

because the lines make it seem separated when you read it. but anyways thats just what i mean...
