Gazing blankly at the sky
I have no feelings.
Scars the shape of well-worn
crucifixes adorn my skin
My beloved little children.
Falling from the earth downwards
Don't dare to come
and look for me
I'm going down alone
into the pit of hell.
The sirens won't find me in time
Staggering, stumbling and
clutching at Death's waiting room.
These knuckles are bruised
with sin and retribution
Heaven cries for justice
And I'm giving it to her.
Crimson colours bleed together
to form a fatal waterfall
on my body.
Weeping down my shoulders
and converging down my back
This is the pathos I've become.
If they can manage to find me
Tell them to condemn me
It's all they ever do.
Don't speak of me in sonnets
Or lie me in a comfortable grave
I'm digging my own right here
Dirt as a pillow and suffocation
as my blanket.
Time is a traitor; he's on their side
He's got a hand penetrating
my insides
Trying to grasp the heart and
deaden it sooner.
And when I stop shaking, trembling
When I combust into a shower
of blood
Stay clear of me, don't try to
purify me
I have no wish to keep on staying
Legless and panting
Shuddering at the loss of myself
Bathing in a sea of spraying red
I will be going soon
I hope you'll be singing a closing tune.
You won't remember me
Goodbye.

Oh My!!! What a vivid write...it defenately stirred something in me. Painfully written, excellently expressed. Like you said to me in one of your comments - You have friends here.
Keep strong and brave and I will remember you, as I'm sure others will too. I hope you don't go this way...have many more days to come, to get through. And don't stop your writing!!
Love Emma. |

Painfully powerful and beautiful. You are an artist with words.
"Crimson colours bleed together
To form a fatal waterfall"
Awesome lines. A true masterpiece! |

"Dirt as a pillow and suffocation
as my blanket."
This was intense and really captivated my thoughtstream to work with your flow.
A powerful write. |
