You speak the words you do
Because you know they cut deep into me
Poisoning my blood to blue
Causing pain in it's highest degree.
Clawing my own skin
To cleanse your touch of pain
that soaked deep within;
These emotions I can't contain.
Screaming up to the sky
Tears streaming down my face
Seemingly never to dry.
These memories, I must erase.

Prompt: Dark vs. Light
I wrote our love last round, so I decided to go dark this time.
Inspired by what my friend is going through.

wonderful
a ton of emotions could be felt in this poem, Clawing my own skin
To cleanse your touch of pain
that soaked deep within;
These emotions I can't contain.
I loved this part...life is very much like that people clawing, just to east their pain...
