Darkness intertwined beneath the sheets
Bloodstains from the night before
Roll from the bed to the floor
And ponder the actions of last night
Look down at the scars
Lasting marks of fading pleasures
Back to how it is
Pretending all is as it should be
Fix your smile to look real
Mask eyes the smile never touches
Ask all the while... was it worth it?
Inside you beg - When will I break?
Inside you cry out - When will this numbness end?
A side wonders - Will I feel life again?
You need to know - Will I ever stop destroying myself?
Dusk hides Winters sorrows
From all the rest but not from him
With him shadows reveal your scars
And silence tells your story
Disappointment in his eyes
Cut through the false shields around you
His is the pain you should have felt
Watch his horror as your world erupts in anguish
Tear yourself apart
Wanting to hide him from this pain
Silently pray he still thinks you're worth it...
Inside you still plead - When will I break?
At night you cry out - When will this numbness end?
Alone you wonder - Will I feel life again?
Longing to know - Will I ever stop destroying myself?
All knowing eyes behold your suffering
Desperate to hold you close
sadly watching you fight yourself
Patiently waiting, Oh so long
For you, to call on him
Keeping you safe from harm when you let him
Feeling your pain grow each day
Waiting eagerly for your permission
So he can tell you; you're worth it
Inside you still beg - When will I break?
Clawing at walls you cry out for this numbness to end
In silence you wonder - Will I feel life again?
Desperate to know - Will I ever stop destroying myself?
Each one wraps arms around you
And tries to sooth your fears
You are worth more...
You are so strong...
I will hold you til the numbness fades
You will feel life in my arms
Look through my eyes, the destruction will end
You are mine to love,
And safe in this bed,
Please remember that...
By far it seems you have improved in your richness of poetry. While the feel is a tad tangy, I think you conveyed yourself exceedingly well with this.
