your blood so sweet,
biting harder and waiting for an unheard scream,
drinking long and feeling your pain and agony,
holding you close and wanting you to always stay with me,
lapping at your liquid soul,
watching you turn and walk away, feeling a deep hole...
the pain anger and fear eating away inside of me,
standing, looking at your form disappear, nothing more to see,
searching what's an eternity for a place to bury my despair,
never finding, never dying, a non-existence, my heart stripped and bare,
feeling your heart beat, hearing your thoughts but lost in my own world,
sleeping through days dreaming of you, hidden in a corner wrapped and tightly curled,
wanting to heal you and once more finding a smile on your face,
crying the night away, finally understanding my failure was your disgrace,
accepting fate and somehow finding an end up on a mountain top,
the sun rising in the far sky, sitting, waiting for the pain to stop,
burning hair and singeing eyes, with this new found sight,
I see your smile as I once did when we first met that night,
a puff of smoke and a spark to fire, my life extinguished in the blink of an eye,
my body collapsed with one last deep sigh,
a smile on my lips, lying at your feet,
thinking...
your blood so sweet.
Walking along the path you built,
Searching for the life you lost,
Darkened skies and gray stone cobbles pave your way.
Stumbling and picking yourself up again and again,
Stopping to wonder if life is worth finding but you always continue on.
Sometimes you get the courage to look back. All you see are corpses rotting away.
Almost choking, nearly gagging, riddled with guilt,
The life you lost you threw away, not caring at what expense or cost.
Not caring what others think, do or say.
You push past them all, trudging along, unknowing if you or they are sane.
Over your shoulder you hear a familiar voice call out in agony. Unwilling now you are forced to go on.
Cursed, it seems, you find that you have the Midas Touch but twisted to ensure all you touch dies and decays.
Cold autumn evenings,
looking out a window at the fading light,
winter seeping into weary bones,
thoughts turn to friends empty, pity filled hugs,
wondering if that is all that is left for me.
Only wanting to love, to be close to someone
but I get only to watch others walk hand in
hand, separated, as if I'm in a glass cage.
Helpless, unknowing how to deal with all these
pain filled feelings.
Trying to keep hope but always losing sight.
Looking around and seeing friends full of love
surrounding me, separated though by the glass.
Constantly alone.
Beginning to feel like a love predator left
with nothing but prey. Like my spider in
its cage full of bugs.
I'm doomed to watch over those that could
feed me, protect them, that is all I can see
unable to be truly loved. Left with empty
cold filled nights holding back the rage.
Curled in a corner all night. Pain wreaking
havoc upon my heart and soul, fighting
thoughts and sensations. An empty being.
Alone.
Never again will I let you in,
Never again will you see inside,
I opened my soul to you.
Handed you my heart.
Love was between us...
And you went away...
I stood and waited.
I stayed and supported.
Never again will you see in.
Never again will I let you inside.
I handed you the essence of my soul.
Opened up my chest and freely gave my heart to you.
Love was between us...
And you went away...
I stayed and waited.
I stood and supported.
Never was I good enough,
Never was I just enough.
I watched others let in.
I watched others cut you deep.
And I would be there to patch you up.
And I was there to heal the wounds.
I let you past my mask...
I let you see in...
There's no next time...
Not another time...
The mask is back in place.
The scars hidden behind that face.
Never again will I wait here for you.
Never again will I be the one for you.
I'll still patch you up...
I'll always try to heal the wounds.
When you realize it's just a mask again,
You'll take it away and find it's too late.
There's no key to my heart now.
There's no window to my soul.
But never again...
No never again...
Nothing's left for you...Not again.
Just dust behind the mask for you.

im srry bout wat happened behind this poem.....
u should read my love the lost personal
i love this one the most. i'm not sure if it's because i've written something similar before or if it's because i understand it completely. still the same, i love it anyway
I like this one. I understand completely. Sadly to say. Wish I didn't.
Souls sing through the night,
The living hear the song...They just don't know it.
Hiding from the light...working to the bone,
Walking home through darkened unlit streets....hungry...
Listening to the songs, being proof the dead never sleep.
Turning down an avenue and finding a child in a doorway...you try to hide yourself from sight.
No matter how hard you try the child listens and raises her head, listening to your song.
Pain, anguish, no will to exist, but caught between life and sleep. Bone weary...At the end of your wit...
Running now...fearful of being around others, afraid to be alone.
Darkness...then a scream that brings you back, you look down and see that she...
Tears fall as you slowly begin to weep...
A new song in the wind...
Pain courses through my body
People point and laugh
No understanding...
...And it bleeds through
Like blood splatters upon velvet drapes
Pain courses through my mind
Alone...Stripped and bare
Never any idea what it's like
...And it bleeds through
Like tears upon the pillow cases
Pain courses through my heart
No one near to care
Will there ever be?
...And it bleeds through
Like hot overflowing bathwater to the floors below
Pain courses through my soul
My blood dripping from the carafe
It's only good use
...And it bleeds through
Like all things from within
But there must be an end...
As my pain bleeds through...
I wear mine to hide what's within me.
I found people prefer the painted smile,
And glittering gemstone eyes.
Some days it wore thin.
And people saw past that pretty face.
I found happiness once...
And when I removed the mask to show the world
Friends turned from me. Only happy when I'm not...truly.
There were days when it cracked.
And people got an ugly little taste.
So I built this mask to hide what's within me.
Made of metal.
It has a lock with no key.
Once in place there will be only a painted smile.
Glistening gemstone eyes.
I found happiness once...
But I was forsaken by the world.
By the ones that meant so much to me.
Once in place it will all be done.
No one will know.
Not until I am gone within.
Dust...blown away with the wind.
Only a mask to remember me.

I have forgotten how to wear my mask properly..and in turn hurt everyone around me..your words ring true though..
Walking away...
It's time to let go...
The pain's gotten too bad,
And i won't let you see the dance of the sick.
It's time to find where the hemlock and nightshade grows,
I won't knock on his door.
I'll kick it in and kiss the devil on the lips,
I'll place a rose between Death's teeth and play dead at an angel's feet.
When they've all turned their backs and walked away I'll disappear.
I don't want their heaven or hell. I'll make my own.
Going to find where the hemlock and nightshade grows.
I'll make my bed 4 x 6.
No one would stand beside me.
They won't see me go down.
I won't knock on his door.
I'll kick it in and kiss the devil on the lips,
I'll place a rose between Death's teeth and play dead at an angel's feet.
Pulling the earthen blanket up over me.
My poisoned blood can't burn the skin that holds it within any more.
When my heart's grown cold no one will know.
It's time to go where the hemlock and nightshade grows.
I won't knock on his door.
I'll kick it in and kiss the devil on the lips,
I'll place a rose between Death's teeth and play dead at an angel's feet.
My poisoned blood pushing it's death from this unknown grave where the hemlock and nightshade grows.

Death can be rather inviting at times......
....Drinking, letting that red ambrosia cloud my senses
I lay upon that velvet blanket on top of death
Cold stone
corpse below
darkness filling my veins
I suddenly hear that sweet serenade
strings intertwined with a beautiful rhyme
and in that terrible rhyme..the shadow speaks to me
I feel sadness wash over me suddenly
the alcohol not numb enough
I suddenly remember and wish the thumping in my heart would cease
The shadow knowing all that I feel
takes my hand
embracing my fears
dropping that wooden tool to the floor i fill those hands
the candles becoming brighter with every movement
I let myself succumb
completely engulfing myself in death's sweet embrace...
