Walking death

by DreamingOutLoud   Jul 30, 2008


My heart cried tonight
Tears mapped the pain on my face
Each pathway had two left feet
Each pathway had memories that cut deep

My skin was coated in black
Black represents death
You asked who died?
I said me
You replied but you're still alive
I may be walking like I'm alive, but I'm dead inside
A painted smile on my face, some things are best left unsaid

I'm a ghost to the eye
I'm invisible
Cut open, you can see through me
Got nothing left to offer
But take these words, they're all I've got to give
And perhaps this life I live

But I won't
This is my life
I have to get up and rise
I have to beam the light from this star
I know I'm falling apart, but I won't let you take a part of me
I'll live for today and not forever
Nothing is promised
These words are not real
because they don't describe what's really real.

    This poem really puts some things into reality,

    My skin was coated in black
    Black represents death
