Feed the Wound

by eternitySOlong   Nov 10, 2005


With a rusty dagger
Walk but slowly stagger
To a place all alone
A point to all never shown
Puncture the skin
Finger my gash
One more cut
One more slash
Taste the blood
Run down my hide
Bestow the tears
From which I've cried
Salty poison
Burns my slit
Torture myself
And never quit
For only a mortal
I'm killing my soul
Deadly love
Takes it's toll
Pull back my flesh
Show my inside
Open my wound
And open it wide
Add in my mixture
Of true love and hate
Try not to weep
But it's too late
Throw in the picture
Of the one I adore
The wound keeps bleeding
Wanting more
Drop in a truth
Covered in lies
Place in a mask
My faithful disguise
From an angel
Toss in a wing
I smell it burn
I feel it sting
Soothe it now
A rose with thorns
Impart on top
Lucifer's horns
Fed so much
Still it craves
Cast in the dirt
From crumbling graves
Shed in smiles
Bring in laughs
Lend a heart
Torn in half
A mixture of us
Of all we were
Love and hate
A repulsing cure
One by one
Inch by inch
Keep it together
I slowly stitch
The bloody threads
Soon are healed
Forever kept
And memories sealed...

    I really love the short lines, but that the poem itself is nice and long. You are truely talented to get such meaning into just a few words on each line.
    Keep up the amazing work!
