A Staircase To Hell

by Saving Grace   May 1, 2009


This is a story, of a girl, whos heart is in a million tiny shards.
Thrown viciously upon the wooden floor, like an old pack of playing cards.

She hides so very well, the hurt she feels within,
The cuts are so deep inside her heart, instead of on her skin.
And she wishes she could tell someone, she really isnt okay,
And that she contemplates suicide, each and every day.

As she lies in her bed each dark and torturous night,
The fake smile she always wears, slips as she gives up the fight.
And the bottled up emotions she managed to hide so well,
Are streaming down her cheeks, forming a staircase deeper into hell.

This girl knows exactly how it is, to feel so utterly betrayed and hurt.
And yet she always must feel, like a piece of dirt.
Her past is hard to forget, as there was not alot of bliss,
And when she is finally able to let it go, there wont be a thing to miss.

I know exactly how this girls life must be,
And I know because this horrid story, it belongs to me.

    Forming a staircase deeper into hell.
    - if you take out deeper it would flow better .

    And yet she always must feel, like a piece of dirt.
    - this line really throws off the flow , and I would personally rewrite it . Iwould also end the poem with the last four lined stanza and take out the other two .. But that's your disgretion . Still a 5/5 , very well done .
