I turn on the sink to hide my deed
The door is already locked and closed
Unfortunately, this time, I’ve cut too deep
While both arms I exposed
Eyes cinched shut
No tears will escape
As I begin
To deteriorate
Warm waters run out of my blood cold arms
Dripping off my blue fingertips
No amount of praying or charms
Will rescue me from these collecting drips
Knees weaken and give out beneath me
I fall to the floor
Water still running
Arms still flowing
I stare up to where I think Heaven is
My eyes speak more grief than words ever could
Could this have all been different I wonder
But now I’ll have no chance to see
The dreams I had never dreamt
The love which I never found
The goodbyes I never said
My thoughts recollect on the ground
I look at my deed again
A solemn tear forms and falls
Down my cheek and to the floor
Repentance now is trying to settle the score
These cuts will always stay with me
Yet as I lay here quietly
I drown in a hope
That somehow I may depart from these scars
Then the ceiling tears open
And an angel whispers in my ear
“Take in my gracious offering”
And I finally see what I’ve been searching for
Peace.
I breathe out one last time
And my final thought will never leave
Through pain of death and future sufferings
For all eternity
Peace.

My eyes speak more grief than words ever could"
beautifully written, brenn.
you're right, it is a lot lighter than it could be and, usually, what i think it should be. but somehow, even without making it really...i don't know. without making it as dark as it's usually portrayed, you've still made it feel real, true.
i should know.
love.
Your words are heartfelt and are greatly appreciated.
much love.
based on this poem, i would need quite a bit of convincing to believe you've never had a serious problem with cutting. you capture the feeling so much better than most.
love.

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

some scars are like tatoos. They are inficted by desire that vanishes with age. Wear them out but they ever leave, but instead stay as a momument to who you are, or more aproriately who you used to be.
