Holding On To You

Crying & Bleeding,
Arms Open And Screaming,
As The Blade Lays By You On The Floor,
[When Did Your Life Fall Apart]

Blackened Eyes,
Hollow Lies,
[Baby What Pain Are You Trying To Hide]
Your Walls Went Up,
As The Cuts Got Deeper,
[Let Me Help You]

This Escape Of Yours,
Is Nothing But A Death Sentence,
A Pile Of Locked Chains Holding You Down,
[Let Me Unlock Them For You]

But You've Driven Me So Far Away,
With Every Cut & Every Tear,
You've Driven Me To My Worst Fears,
[Let Me Love You]

Let Me Erase All Your Cuts,
And Cover Up The Scarring,
All The pain You've Inflicted On Yourself,
[I Want To Heal You Again]

Let My Love Replace The Cuts,
My Hugs Be The Blood,
[They Will Never Stop Coming]
And My Kisses Be Your Tears
[They Will Always Keep Coming]

The More You Try To Bleed,
The More I Try To Hold You,
[I Will Never Let You]
You Mean The World To Me,
And The Cuts I Hate To See,
[Let Me Fade Them All Away]

    Congrats on the silver and bronze you won with this poem. Though I am no great fan of dirty pretty, this was pretty well written. Thank you for entering, and good luck.

    Congrats on the trophies. You deserved them. This is very sad. I know that feeling of wanting to be there for someone with a problem like this, but they push you away because they want to deal with it themselves. Very strong write. Good job.

    Awwww just so sweet and beautiful, the heart that you're willing to give, to feel inside their chest, caring and helping them to heal, the broken and the wounded.....

    It's like a song for me too,

    How beautiful!! This is so lovely how you wanted to heal all of this person's hurt and pain. And I though that it was interesting how you said
    I want to heal you again, it really got my attention and made me wonder. I also really like the sixth paragraph (or whatever they're called in poetry). Very well written.
    Keep Writing

    i liked this one alot, not like alot of poems about cutting. theres nothing about the rush or thrill, to me it's more about trying to help or save the cutter...
    Great Poem.

    This was a really great piece! i really liked how there were little segments put into this piece including the actual body. i like the whole idea of "holding on to you" and the whole idea of saving this person. there was a lot of great images and pictures that were created. i really like the ending line "let me fade them all away"
