motives of a sort

knives slicing up my arms, while knees buckle under pressure
i fall to the floor, can't fight anymore

blood is the only things that's real

pain is truth
blood is real

nothing else is solid
nothing else stays

all is momentary

remembered for a while, then fading into more days
evaporating away

only blood and pain are permanent
only they remain.

    Wicked sweet poem! It totally makes me think the person only know one real thing, blood and pain. For the person its like coffee to normal people, it wakes ya up and put your nerves on end. I love this poem Keep it up.
