Tears and Blood

Folder: 
1. Blameless Ennui

His fingers clench my neck

And I cry out in pain

The agony so intense

The tears fall down like rain

What started as a game

Now ended in rage

The anger burning inside

As I write words on this page

My hands begin to shake

I can no longer see straight

My mind filled with hatred

That only blood will satiate

Taking another's life

Is beyond my power or will

As much as I want his death

I cannot bring myself to kill

So to my skin I bring the knife

It's cold blade draws blood

I cannot hold it back

My tears begin to flood

The angry words have passed

The yelling has faded away

I'm left with a stained paper

As memory of this day

He won't know of my torture

Or the pain he caused me

The marks we made today

Will one day set me free

Now I think I know what this one is about, but you say don't take it literally. I think it's when you and stever were playing and he became a dick and grabbed you by the neck as he often did to hurt you. And the figurative part was the knife drawing blood. I hope...

'holds her' I am sorry that this would of happened to you. the world would of been a lesser place without you here. Much of the world is cruel and uncarring. But it only makes us cling to the caring part of it so muhc more. pain can be channeled into poetry and thus trasnformed into a work of art as thee have done

I'm going to say first of all that this is pretty damn good, almost amazing to me right now(it's been awhile since i've read any great work)
The end was personally the best part for me but I like the whole thing.
Great job
