red

Contributed by Cancer on Thursday, 5th June 2003 @ 09:35:00 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



through hazy red, i see the world
my voice cracks as all the words rush out
all the words, the unformed thoughts
that i held inside so long
the dam has broken
and you are all going to be swept away

built by rejected feelings
or feeling feelings i didn't want
constructed from mistreatment
real or imagined, it doesn't matter
painted bright red by the childish fury felt
when things don't go my way
something finally set it off
and it's all coming out for you

i cry from rage as i pace the stage
spilling every thought to you
every fear, every love, ever homicidal intent
flooding forth for you to examine
no self-censorship, no last minute editing
pure, unadulterated truth

the noise in my head
makes it hard to concentrate
hard to finish my rant
hard to get all these points across to you
the noise, so loud, swallows my world
and leaves me shaking and cold
feeling violated on some deeper level
soul rape from a phantom noise

my body grows tired,
but there is so much left inside
so many secret vendettas,
so many overheld grudges
so many skeletons in this bleeding closet
that you will never see
damn

the red drains quickly
i collapse and cry
so much left unsaid
so many still alive
so much left to do
but, i'm not too worried

the red will come again

soul rape from a phantom noise" those lines went straight to my core - like i know exactly what you meant. i like the raw emotion in this write and the realistic images you create. great write, keep them coming, Kate x
