Tourniquet

I'm weeping on the floor
Abused and broken to my very core
I hear the same taunting voices
'Cut, burn, and tear' I shake my head, weakly
I'm staring off into nowhere
Because I've realized I no longer care
I'm like a dead leaf, about to fall,
But I can't just give in and be torn apart by death's decay
I die a little more each day
My mouth can't form the words I want to say
I see myself, in the distance, lying in a suicidal heap
I scream, rent my clothes because its to painful to watch
I've thought about a lot of things
Failed to fly away on these broken wings
I am like a desert, dry and thirsty
There is no hope here only desolation and weariness
I rub a hand over my saddened face
Trying to erase my tears and my look of disgrace
I try to lock in my aching heart,
But all I see is the razor and the scars it leaves
My face is bruised and streaked with dirt
To stop the blood I make a knot with this old shirt
Its stained with dried blood... Life is so hard
I put my head in my hands... Unable to stop
My shoulders start to heave and tears fall aching to the ground

I loved you poem very much. I read it over a couple of times and each time I liked it more. Whether it means the same things that it means to you i do not know, but this poem I can relate to so much. Reading it has lifted my spirits thinking that Im not the only one going through what im going through... before i stop making sense im gonna go. thanx for writting

| Wow, Bobo... so intense, your passion for words really shines through here... there is a difference between a writter and a poet.... you definately prove yourself a poet with this one. |
