Breaking The Addict

You came towords me with a smile,
one for breaking walls.

How hard you tried,
I don't want to know,
but you gave up,
you went away.

Never uttered,
Words of endearment.
gladly now,
Vow's strength prevail.

Breaking The Addict
we'll bury her tonight

in a grave she embraced,

so long ago,

Reluctance.

Breaking The Fall

with a bed of black roses

to comfort her shell.

and the smiles she gave

had been nothing but fake

she didn't cry,

as we let her fall.

But tonight we'll find out,

just how easy it is,

Breaking The Addict.

~

 

Then crashing to the ground

collapsing on the floor

she writhes

the silence seeping from her mouth

portrays her agony

 

Throught all the screaming,

all the bleeding.

Through everything we've seen

She's walking upright,

a smile through the night

her shell filled with a light bulb bright.

She's fake, but she can't help it.

When their nothing left of her mind.

 

Breaking The Addict

We’ll bury her tonight

In a shallow grave

One she embraced,

So long ago

Reluctance.

Breaking The Fall

With a bed of black roses

To comfort her shell.

And the smiles she gave

had been nothing but fake

She didn’t cry,

As we let her fall

But tonight we’ll find out

  just how easy it is

Breaking The Addict.

How i broke free

of the light that emptied her soul,

I'll never know,

 

And sometimes she believes

that she's real

she says that it's emotions

this thing that she can feel.

And sometimes late at night

when she can brush so close,

 to her soul so long detatched,

she writes Poetry.

In a dim light

she hid in her room.

 

And when she's close,

so close, she crys.

And it never lasts long,

but her lust for it keeps on

'cause right now we're

next time you see her,

don't say a thing,

'cause her only friends' a razor

and she's always home alone.

Next time you greet her,

don't let on you know,

'cause she can't feel the bite,

and she won't stop when she sees in red.

 

Sometimes she dosen't feel so bad for smiling,

Sometimes she feels more than self hate,

but she'll never let you see that side,

because that'd be so weak.

 

And when we're

Breaking The Addict

Burying her in roses of her favorite colors,

in a grave she dug with her blades.

because dead girls don't cry,

at a funeral they call their own.

Breaking Her Additction To A Life Full Of Pain.

 

Sometimes she crys in her box,

and sometimes she puts away her blades.

And sometimes,

She's me.

Author notes

At first this was born out of my depression, but then i got to the "chorus" of sorts and I just got really excited about this whole poem, so some of it's me, and some of it is something i don't really know. ... >.< Damnn i love this poem, as long as it is... ^.^ Comment please. 0_o something's screy with the html coding... so i have to see if i can fix that >.< OH and Breaking The Addict IS a play on breaking the habit, but only in words, not tune or flow... and no, i have no reasoning behind that.

    Hmm, well what is there to say about this poem. First of all, your shift to rhyme in the fourth stanza of the poem is unsettling and is not repeated, the poem is written in a lyrical format fit for a song with a chorus, however you accomplish nothing with its presence (the rhyme that is). Im pretty sure the effect of the poem would be much greater if i could hear it being spoken, however your message is strong and your emotions raw...beautiful

    Bravo

    Yikes, baby! This is incredible. I can relate to it on a really deep level, somewhere in my past, yeah...I've never really been able to read anything that has pinned my past down so well. I love the style that you write in, and the words you choose to use...

    My favorite part:
    "And when she's close,
    so close, she crys.
    And it never lasts long,
    but her lust for it keeps on"

    I'm not sure why I like it so much, but...It has something there.
