Seven Scars

Contributed by bobotheclown on Friday, 16th April 2004 @ 08:45:03 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



Bleeding lonely words onto the floor
Empty eyes staring into nothingness
A broken face hidden on his bed
I've produced nothing
Only stolen at will

And I love these seven scars,
Seven scars to keep me whole
Seven scars to personify pain
Seven scars to watch me as I drown

This filth keeps me pinned down
As I stroke these rocks, frantically
Can't take any more misery
Even as its shoved down my throat
Equivocating on every point

And I love these seven scars,
Seven scars to keep me whole
Seven scars to hold me down
Seven scars to scream I'm nothing

My face took in your disease
As I reveled in your pain
Lapping up every lie you sold me
So pathetic, as you tore down my defences
So ironic, that I was the one to fall

And I love these seven scars,
Seven scars to keep me whole
Seven scars to keep me bleeding (weakened)
Seven scars to provoke me to fall

Dark, angry and sinister. It gives me chills. Which is a good thing of course.

I'll be thinking about those 7 scars all night.

Whoa, this was seriously impressive. It may be my new favorite of yours, and considering how good your others are, that's saying a lot. Dark, haunting, powerful, enthralling . . . had me glued from the first line on in. Fantastic job, keep it up. You have a fan.

Darker than dark, this leaves a distinct impression on the reader--the vision, anger and sadness etched in my memory. This is good, this is damn good. Hell, even the title is awesome!

Truly,

this poem is so filled with anger, pain and frustation (i think) and it is simply awsome. On another note, is that why their are 7 deadly sins, instead of like 8, or 6? Cos I can think of loads of other evil sins then just 7. Dante must have done it so it sounds cool, or cos the 7 sins is perfection or somethin like that. DOnt mind me i'm rantin...

Fascinating write. It certainly held my attention all the way through. No easy feat. Much to ponder. I like this.
