My Pain and Tears

by Shadows Reign   Apr 23, 2007


Every night, I lay here thinking.
Thinking about whats going to happen to us.
My nights have become black, no moon or stars light the way.
Wherever I go, dark stormy clouds follow me around.
Crackling with thunder and lightning,
Always Raining down on me.
Just like every night, my pillows soaked with tears as I cry myself to sleep.
I am tormented by thoughts of you during the day,
But even more so at night when I dream.
Because the are always so vivid, always so clear and colourful.
I dream of times spent together and times we could have had.
They always seem so real, I know they're not but I fall every time.
I get so drawn in by them, that when I wake I become even sadder.
I become angry and begin to hate myself for falling for it every day and night.
I have lost all feelings, no love, no happiness, no joy, no nothing,
Everything except the pain I always feel inside gone.
I want it to go away, so I sit there holding a blade.
I place it against my flesh and slowly work it across.
Not enough to bleed... yet just enough to cut.
I start again but push harder, slicing through the layers of flesh,
I bleed a nice steady flow, running down my arm.
The sight of my blood provides a door for my pain to slowly escape.
It provides a sense of relief, even if only temporary.
But it makes everything a little more bearable.
When the bleeding slows and the door begins to close, the pain gets locked away again.
I go out into the dark night, I go for a walk.
I don't choose where, I just follow my feet and think.
I walk and think until I can't walk nor think no more.
But still the pain is there, so I go home to bed, the same every night.
I lay here thinking and eventually cry myself to sleep on my tear soaked pillow.

    It's wierd, but this poem describes exactly how afternoons are spent. Just hang in there and remember that there are people that you can talk too.
