Can't Let You Go

Screaming in my ear

I'm worthless
mental
and needing of help

but my heart yearns
for your affection.

The slashing

through my veins

gurggles blood in laughter;

foolish girl
silly dreams
naive to love

and I still need,

you.

One more stab
to my back
with your sharp lied,
               tongue

and I fall to the floor
in hopes
I can carve one last
            apology
                 with my life,

cause I cant

let you go.

Wow, this is really good. The entire thing is beautiful, but really sad. But still, I love it! So, *hugz* for my friend.

This is so intense, especially for the quickness of your write. The italised words really work well. Nice take
