Fade to black

by Wake   May 12, 2007


Life as it seems to fade away
falling further with each day

covering my lie, i had to sin
now i lay here writhing within

dispossesed the wish to live
wear myself like a stitch
getting colder with every breath
should start getting used to it

the tourniquet chokes me now
cuz my heart provokes me somehow

my wrists crying
still the blood is flowing
scattering, my life is going

nothing bothers me, not the way i feel
not the laughter of people who're still real

dispossesed the will to breathe
nothing left that my heart conceals
fading away out of my sight
another victim of this reckless night

the painkiller is deep i can feel it now
devour my life, i loathe it now...

    Very touching and emotional, nicely written, but it isn't my favorite one of yours. You created good imagery, but you should work on the some metaphors for the emotions. I don't want to offend you, or something like that, this is just my opinion.

    The anngst and despair of this piece are so powerful. The imagery and wording really sinks home the emotion you've captured so well. Great piece.

    Peace,
