Chalkboard Fingernails

Contributed by Jyssvw22 on Thursday, 16th January 2014 @ 01:14:26 PM in AEST
Topic: oops



Reconnect me to something I never knew

Once I find the light

It will guide me back to you

I feel safe in the night

Darkness obstructs my view

When the moment feels right

And the world spins tight

Incapacitated,

I am revived

I am someone who

Has become himself

Despite your apathy

The agony

Knowing too much

And never enough

You called me

Your true love

I embraced your words

Now

Give me a hug



I empathize

With those who cannot see

With whom should I walk?

I talk

In circles

To myself

I scream

At bare walls

In hopes

Of releasing

Some sort of smoke

I am

An everlasting joke

Laugh if you will

Repudiate me still

My claim to pain

A desire to regain

All that was stolen

As I slept

As I wept

As I kept

In my head

That night

We kissed in the rain

Powerful use of imagery in your wording, without overdoing it. The emotion felt real to me, and this made for a highly visual read. Even the title makes it's own stand-alone statement.
