these blood drenched sheets are all i know
the final seconds of life just seem to flow
out of me and onto the bed
i watch as my world fades to the red
of failed attempts, of giving up
i feel my failure and lift my cup
to toast to the fact that nothings true
i watch as i let the world fall thru
and slip through my fingers just when i begin to grasp
what makes me wrong, and then i gasp
as its torn away and replaced by fear
of pain caused to those i hold dear
the friends i love and family i adore
all that i do just brings around more
pain and suffering for every one i meet
to save myself would be a feat
that is too far out of reach
for me, but with this at least ill try to teach
you all about the way i feel
to tell you about all that i find real
and show you part of my mind
so that you might be so kind
as to at least pretend to care
at least act like your aware
of the pain you leave me in your voice
the pain that leaves me with no choice
but to throw away myself in shame
it leaves in me a tiny flame
that ignites in me the thing i hate
the thing to which you can't relate
the thing that makes me so fucked up
the part of me that fills the cup
with blood and gore, not tears and sorrow
the part of me that wishes there would be no tomorrow
this is the part i love to hate
its the part of me that says its too late
that no one cares for me at all
its the reason i begin to fall
and hit rock bottom when no ones here
and all my hope is replaced by fear
I like the flow of this poem, because it comes out so sweetly (yes, sweetly) that it almost seems to represent your blood flowing out. It's painfully beautiful. Heart-wrenching.
I might also add, that your use of alliteration throughout the poem is wonderfully effective. Spectacular! I enjoyed reading this poem very much, and hope to read more soon.
