Close my eyes, lets dream of suicide.

by Let Me Be Your Happily Ever After   Dec 5, 2005


Its easier said then done
cutting myself with that deadly blade
don't for a second think its for fun
I'm just helping screw up the life we made.

these tears mean nothing now
they never really did
I've wanted to hurt myself
ever since i was a kid

I'd sit on the pavement
and scratch my knees against the ground
hoping that one day
my life would turn itself around.

i can cry a river
or even a sea
but i cant love you
as much as you love me

it sounds so conceited
so cocky and untrue
but the truth is
i like you, i just don't love you

and in my final moments
ill stand all i can stand
ill cut into my skin
and slowly fall to the ground

the lights and the sirens
echo in my head
holding out for a few minutes
not long till I'm dead

they pump at my stomach
and breath into my mouth
my mother is crying
trying to figure this out

my dad rubs her shoulder
as he fights back the tears
the useless fights
that haunted these years

my sisters head is buried in her hands
as she slowly rocks back and forth
trying for years to love me
but what was it all worth?

i can't stay much longer
but i love you more then i can say
and i know you cant hear me
but you'll feel it anyway

- please i'd appreciate your input-

    Oh, wow. So dark and touching (I know that sounded pathetic). All of your stuff that I've read thus far is really great and unusual, so I hope to see more :)

    Hi Nicc, you commented on one of my poems and so I got intrigued and began reading your work. I must say Nicc, the imagery is extremely vivid and biting, it definitely grabs a hold of you. But also keep in mind that writing should be something that can take you away from all this. I am a recovering self mutilator, and from experience I can tell you that these kinds of thoughts may look clear now, but try reading your own poems through someone else's eyes, and you can see that these thoughts do not capture your whole. I think you can be an extremely talented writer is you look beyond defining yourself through pain, and start thinking about how much you mean to others. Even kids who you just post one comment to. Thanks for reading, sorry if i got a little preachy. Talk to me sometime.
