    So the windows to the soul
    Are sewn shut
    Never to be seen again......

    All is destroyed
    All is corrupted
    Love can never happen again.... Sigh.

    ________________________________

    and what happens when a body has lain in bed
    made from shredded pieces of its love?
    and where does a dead spirit rest when the heart breaks
    and stops swelling with passionate blood?
    where goes the faithful dream of blessed future
    that once lived in those hopeful eyes?
    where dwelled all these tears I've shed
    and so did all the fears realized
    Days go by my window
    as my thoughts consume me thus
    while cruel hands of fate
    turn my existence to rust...

    Well done. I enjoyed the overall "dark" sense to your writing. I am actually a writer myself, so it is always enjoyable to read the writings/poems of others!

    Well done, very deep, satisfyingly dark... but I probably will not read again unless I want to end it all. J/K

    Pick up your body

    And pick up your heart

    And never again

    Let them be torn apart

    Take possesion of your soul

    Pick up all of the pieces of

    You

    And make them whole

    Use your blade to slash

    The curtains open

    Let the light of love

    Shine within you once again

    Pick yourself up off of

    The carpeted floor

    And say to yourself

    I want more

    Put your tounge back in your mouth

    And scream

    I want to live

    Come back to us

    You have so much more

    To give

    Interesting poem. It seems like the author is drowning in pain and struggling with alcoholism, cutting and possibly love addiction. Obviously this all hypothetical but the fascinating part is that most can relate to the feeling of deep pain and sadness. We may not articulate it, we may suppress it, but poetry is one of the best ways to vent. I think this poem is met as a metaphor to just describe the intensity of emotional pain.

    ....With you
    The time is done
    I take back my knife
    And cut my way free
    Of you to be reborn
    Untouched and cut no more

    Emolia. I have to ask if you are getting better. Is this physical or emotional? I want to know. Blood is concerned. So is your pack. Please tell me. H.

      Your heart can't be stupider than mine, Emolia. lol :) Cheer up, doll, you've got your whole life ahead of you. Do you have plans for your life, things you want to do? You should do at least some of them and get ahead in your life. Lingering in depression makes laughter disappear. I know what I'm talking about. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here. Hang in there.
