Potential

There was the potential
Of a beautiful forever
The possibility of you and me
If you had just tried,

Now ive been absorbed in this black-hole
Surrounded by this vortex of self destruction
I cant help but lose my sanity as i remember
Lying comatose in the freezing weather,

You and me would have been perfect
If you had taken the chance
Never would we need another
But you didnt want me,

Mutilation reigns as i try to block the memories
Lines of lava trace my skin and drown me in pain
Sweet sick masochistic release once more
The hot metallic blood melts the snow beneath me,

It would have been effortless
We never had to try with each other
But you let the distance tear us apart
Now you cant even talk to me,

My heart is failing its last beats now sluggish
Cold numbs my body unable to freeze my mind
Vision fading i cant help but picture your face
A fan to the flames of my suffering,

The possibility forever lost
Ill never forget what we could have had
Tortured till i can find permanent relief
Im finally done dealing with the failure of potential.

    Whoa. That is absolutely intense, lil bro. Ripped my heart to burning shreds to read it. I loved the second to last line...till I can find permanent relief. Absolutely stunning.
    Best of luck in the contest.
