Broken Bonds, Broken Life

Contributed by bobotheclown on Saturday, 7th February 2004 @ 02:56:51 AM in AEST
Topic: Suicide



I have broken a hundred and one bonds
And now I lie, weeping,
In a tub slowly filling with my blood
My wrists are the faucets
My 'joy' the sick romance
As steam slowly covers my eyes
With the heat of the moment
I feel no pain, and joy ebbs away
As my life slips under the sweet decay

The same as an eagle cries
As its majesty is ripped from it
I weep a broken, forgotten man
And nothing remains of me as I slip under
Except two air bubbles
Seemingly trapped within the sick stench
Of metal and salt... and then they pop
And nothing more remains of me or my failure
Except an empty, hollow corpse

I enjoyed this one because it at first made me start to think where this might be going. my confusion then turned to a shiver down my spine when you stated "my wrists are the faucets" I love it when people's writing surprises me and I dont know whats coming. Your poems have a way of satisfying my taste.

Kisses,
~Soulless~
