shake myself awake
slap.
sting across my face
i've erased you

somewhere you are whole
in the world
you are simple
and satisfied

three months and six days
i'm fading away
waste.

the nightmare began
a huddled mass
an outstretched arm
a single slash

from this wrist is born
my remorse
the solace that settles
even the steepest of scores

i'm dripping slow
the shallow ear
yearning to know
i bear only what i suffer
to hold near

that somewhere in the world
you are whole, satisfied
and three months six days
i've been denied

from this wrist is born
my remorse
the solace that settles
even the stalest of scores

Great beginning! It was very effective in catching my attention so that any further reading is to be taken with great consideration. As a whole i thought the piece was extremely well crafted and the words you use are elegant and strong.

I thought the ending was powerfully put as well:

from this wrist is born
my remorse
the solace that settles
even the stalest of scores

Keep it up..and i'll keep reading.

You worded your thoughts quite well here, and with a dash of creativity too, I might add! I enjoyed this. It kept a good flow, and your feelings were certainly conveyed to the reader. Keep it up!!
