My mind is plagued with thoughts of you
That I can't seem to shake
Every moment rips my heart
And kills each breath I take.
I question every word you say
And my life is in your hands
I can't take any more of this
But keep giving you another chance.
I don't know why I'm so in love
With this mess that we have made
I cannot let go of you
I'm so wrapped up in this pain.
Your lips tell me "I love you"
But your heart is telling lies
And the truth is revealed in the tears that I shed
Can you hear it in my cries?
I try to show you this hell that I'm in
But the darkness is burning your eyes
You're wondering why I taste like death
While I contemplate suicide.
So many thoughts crawl through my head
That I cannot explain
Words will never tell a soul
The story of my pain.
I stand before you, broken down
Exhausted and tired of breathing
You'll never know what it's like to pray
For the day that your heart stops its beating.
But still, you have me in your grasp
I've grown too tired to fight
And the more that I resist your touch
The more pain I invite.
My demon, so much deep despair
Resides inside my brain
I cannot think of anything else
I am no longer sane.
Devil dancing in my head
I long for the other side
Please rid me of this torturous life
And leave me here to die.

This is an amazing piece....The darkness of it...And the pain...and feeling that you get when you read this piece is amazing....
I stand before you, broken down
exhausted and tired of breathing
You'l never know what it's like to pray
For the day that your heart stops its beating.
That is an amazing and powerful stanza....Great job keep up the great work..

So very dark... Not generally my thing, but so incredibly written! I can really relate to the first half, though the poem as a whole is very touching! Just remember "don't let something wonderful go unseen, because of tearful eyes that need healing."

oh such...
angst spills from these words...
love sucks!
it can be soul shredding indeed and you have painted that perfectly within these gripping words...
I feel your pain...been there done that doesn't mean a thing sometimes, does it?
I pray that love and laughter will soon fill your pen...and heart!
Blessings! Tammy
