The Stinging

Folder: 
June 2007

I continued watching

But amongst the stinging pain in my heart,

I stopped caring

Stopped trying to change,

When nothing ever makes the stinging go away



I continued breathing

Every breath more heavy

Like an anchor weighing me down

Further and further under the current

Deep enough to drown

The stinging continues,

The deeper I sink underneath

Drowning forever

Suffocating

Lost in a sea of sadness



The stinging still continues

Like there is something poking inside my head

Laying on a bed of pins and needles

Being robbed of my sanity

Razorblade kisses and crimson tears stain my face

Still there is a stinging deep within

Carve into myself my hatred, my sin

Stick the blade in deeper,

Press down a little bit harder



Take the pills

Drink them down with the bottle

Waste away the time

If only I had a gun

Nothing, however, can kill the stinging

It goes on and on,

Burning deeper inside

Soon there will be nothing left



My soul, already dead

So cold, I cannot warm up to anyone

Cannot love someone,

And in return cannot be loved ever again

You cannot feel love when you have no soul



Look into my eyes

Once full of color and glowed so bright

But now they are empty

Why did I get abandoned and left in such a miserable state

Is this fate

Destined to be alone forever



Seclude in the darkness for eternity

That way no one else can reject a cold heart like mine

It is not worth getting back up

Not when the stinging never ends

Everyone becomes a stranger, even the closest friends



Its hard to stay alive when you are so broken inside

But I continue with no reason

Hoping one day that it will get easier

The stinging still goes on

I am afraid the stinging will continue even once I am gone

a poison so dense it roots itself in your veins
The more you try to dig it out
The more it'll cause you pain
You tear yourself apart until you are no more
And yet that pain seems to continue
Even as you stand at suicide's tenth level door
Know however that the door does not lead to bliss
Although you could open everything up and follow through
There will be yet plenty you will have missed
Although this stinging may seem like it will go forever
All poisons eventually run their course
And you will become stronger for all your endeavours

For what hasn't killed you yet only prepares you
For all the things yet to come
You'll know the mistakes to miss and what chances are true
And perhaps end up lighting the world of someone
And in turn they may light up your own
Friends and family sometimes draw away
But if they love and care, they'll never truly go
They'll come back to you... just wait for the day

And you'll be glad you made it out in the end

Aren't we all afraid of that pain...of course...I feel as though I am used to it all...I think when no one cares..you start to care less yourself...

Awesome read
