Hear My Pleas

In the dead of night
my mind is but a scream
and let me be heard
the silenced voice
typing to the heart beat
that didn't pound for life
but savoured death in drunken smiles
of truth.

Seeking the forbidden tales of sanctuary
that was the mental hospital in the mind
take me to the beds, and strap me down
and try to strip the individual
of believing in a different view
of joy.

I can see it all
the cries, she did cry
you know by his hands
ripping her shreds of confidence
she will bleed on the tile floors
doctors screaming emergency
over what happens everyday
because we die.

Just another expiration date
you tremble, and I know
I couldn't care less anymore
over the marked out signing sheet
that I volunteered with
but Death just loves me too much
and we throw tea parties at midnight.

Could you dance with fate?
twisting beneath the milking sky

utter a sigh in relief when cold shivers

seep to the bones to finally know

you're not outside

living life with a smile.

 

But drop below the veins

where razors fell in love

in place

I sing to you

lullaby, drifting to dreams

of sleep, I don't want to wake up

and I won't

because I could never see your face

                           again.

 

I hate you too much.

    I am so glad of your invitation to click onto this, apart from the fact that it is awesome I can relate to a lot of the feeling and emotion in it, as I am sure, can a lot of others. Perhaps you also have gone through a period of pain, if you havn't I can tell you that you have captured the emotions well. Good work. Val

    The stucture looks good, and it sounds full of emotion, but I find it hard for me to grasp an understanding. if you don't mind maybe drop me a line later.
