Mercy Tools

Contributed by LiquidChaos on Thursday, 20th May 2004 @ 10:36:08 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

I’m screaming into empty hallways
Running from imagined fears
Gasping for air in this vacuum
As I spill these dark-red tears.

I’m fleeing my attacker
As I pass the mirrored wall
Slipping in a pool of blood
I feel myself begin to fall

And it’s not like I’m afraid
To be caught and then erased
But I feel I must remove
The primitive drive of hate.

So I stumble inside an unlocked room
Filled with shelves of sharps
Comforted by the thought of destruction
As I hold a knife to my heart.

And then I slowly recognize
That death is not at hand
This room is filled with mercy tools
It’s with this thought I stand.

I pull back my sleeve slowly
To reveal cuts and scars
I hold the knife with a trembling hand
Hoping this time I don’t go too far.

Cutting past the epidermis
To bring forth the blood within
Exposing tendons, seeing muscle
Contently destroying skin.

And quietly I look around
To be sure that no one’s here
Reassured I end the sorrow
Weep the final tear.

I’ve managed to cut deep enough
I don’t need it anymore.
And this one will not leave a scar
I’ve managed to settle the score

With trust.
