Down The Seams




Cut, cut, cut
The flesh rolls away.
Snip, snip, snip
The hair falls down.

Can’t stay any longer
Not with this.
I want to run away
Without a life.

Please don’t talk to me
Because I need this.
I need the freedom
I need the lie.

Take my hand
Lead me away
To a place that’s safe,
Free from this life.

I’m not the only one
That’s unlocked.
Pierce a hole in my chest
And share with me your heart.

Legitimate tears
Right down the seams,
Please make sure
That I don’t drown.

Drop, drop, drop
The blood pours out.
Burn, burn, burn
The hair melts away.

    Interesting

    well this was certainly one bloody collaboration poem y'all created here. I must admit though its very weird and dark like but its very well penned too. in a way this is almost about love because when you talk about piercing a hole in your chest and sharing your heart its like your sharing a single heart beat together. I donno I am all over on my comment. over all a great poem for you both for you both Signed, Bro

    This is powerful. Seriously, you guys, keep writing. I started reading it, not knowing what to think. But then I understood, in a way. Great imagery, I love it.

    Poems reminds mf a road i walk, but then the overall all is both simular and vastly different, a rag doll life, splitting seems threads coming apart, pain mystery and sorrow, the words beeld promised torment, and the picture is painted in blood, beautifully written.

    Wow very powerful and scary at the same time. It sounds like you are stepping into something new and unknown and feeling very fragile about it all, not knowing fi there will be pleasure or hurt.
    You'll never know if you don't try!
    We all learn from the good and bad times in oiur lives and really can't and shouldn't avoid any if we are tio grow into balanced human beings.
    Great write both of you

      You know, Raven wrote the start verses of this just THINKING about me, and she really managed to get inside my head. The strange thing with this is that it IS powerful and scary at the same time but it's also scary because for me, at least at the moment, it makes me feel like I can keep going even though things are at the worst for me.
      I think Claire is worth keeping

      I loves you too sweets, you deserve a million of those huggy things that i dont know how to do. its yahoo - i dont know how to use yahoo (at least not very well)

      Scary - life is scary, at the moment i'm contest, but slightly sedate. content more than anything, that'll probably change soon but i dont really care at the moment.

      with the bad comes the good, remember that sweety, otherwise how will we know what the 'good" looks/smells/feels/sounds like.

      Waffle you Scruffles for ever and ever and ever and ever.
