Staggering Along Broken Roads

by KeyxMashingxParody   Apr 13, 2007


The heart pounding silence breaks the peace,
Slowly crowding into a state of motionless life.
Stuttering between verbs,
And losing your grip.
Suffocating your mind.

Screaming souls are calling you and no one else,
Creeping up on you with a gasp of cold air.
Falling between steps,
And breaking your bones.
Suffocating your mind.

Tear jerking moments are remembered here,
Once more feeling the pain you once felt.
Staggering along broken roads,
And dripping black blood.
Suffocating your mind.

You grow cold in the darkness and lonely again,
As chills go up and down your stiff spine.
Screaming after breaths,
And losing your voice.
Suffocating your mind.

Spirits crowd you and tear your flesh like it was paper,
Even though the pain is harsh, your silent.
Skipping each beat,
And fading away.
Suffocating your mind.

You see graves line up beside you and spin aimlessly,
As you stand to your feet only to fall to your knees.
Breaking each thought,
And killing sanity.
Suffocating your mind.

Your heart stops beating and you fall into a deep grave,
While hearing a pastor speak, and your family cry.
Dead like always,
And dead inside.
Suffocating your mind...

    I interpreted this as being about death. If so it was a rather interesting depiction of your final moments. I liked your first line. Not really a contradiction but there was contrast (not sure if thats the best word). Silence doesn't typically break peace so it catches the readers attention early on.
