The Fiery Paroxysm Maelstrom

Contributed by Obnoxious_Bread on Tuesday, 30th March 2010 @ 10:01:57 PM in AEST
Topic: self-harmpoetry

Lights go out,
turn on the fan,
salt runs down my skin,
sweat or tears, I do not know

does it matter?
I think not.
after all only god knows that these tears
are not what they should

The sacrifice lies down,
while the executioner pretends to be serene,
when inside,
he sweats and cries,

I swore id never do this,
but tonight I swore I would.

My thoughts surrender
and melt away,
asphalt of my agony
not quite yet
but soon enough

Maybe some light would be fine
after all
I don’t want to hurt myself by accident
yeah, how I wish I could

enough with the talk already
enough with the thought,
open,
pull,
open,
freeze.

The blade reflects bright moonlight
angry silence envelops me, frustrated
humanity at its finest
ah! but yet again I digress!

A Liar
a silenced whimper
a slash

Again,
and again and again and again.

A tear runs down my cheek,
Hushing snivels and frustration,
Taking then down, down,
Into the blighted, fiery maelstrom of broken hopes and dark promises fulfilled

It's hard to understand the reasons of someone who describes what they do in such negative terms. Many people suffer without turning to a knife to solve their problems, after all. Seems like it's probably not the smartest thing one could do...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
