| » Poem: when i breathe... |
when i breathe...
written by trulybroken5712:00 AM 4/20/05every time i breathe
i'm stabbed with aching crimson shards,
reminding me of how broken i am.........
hiding behind fragile smiles,
one last look will shatter me,
yet i'm being ripped apart inside
by the tears revealing the hurt.........
shallow breaths accompany me
along this dead end path,
i'm walking, but i'm going nowhere
i'm smiling, but i'm dying
i'm faking, but i'm screaming,
screaming on the inside,
so broken from depression,
there is nothing left...........
fragments of me lie on the floor,
i'm trying........trying so hard
to pick myself up, but i'm lost.........
i can't find the strength,
someone help me out of this.
begging and pleading,
don't you see it in my eyes?
look past the smiles, look past the laughter
and see a blood torn soul,
a waste of empty space..........
filled with holes,
can you see right through me?
i'm crying out in pain,
screaming with each and every breath......
it hurts too much...
cuts and scrapes line the edge,
the edge upon which
i lay my weary head,
too exhausted to notice the ground is slipping,
slipping out from under me,
cracking slowly when i breathe.......... |
