On the Bottom Date: Saturday, 2nd January 2010 @ 11:59:30 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: ToxicityOfTheCity Naked bodies writhe on silky sheets, Teeth and scratch marks healing over, Afterglow sputters and goes out Truth surfaces, time for the soreness His snores pierce the night and sink my euphoria His arm cinches tighter around my waist, my frown deepens Sleep is distant wispy cobwebs Annoyance flashes, tiredness wears Never what you think it will be Blurs on the edges of my vision threaten to take over Burn me away with fire and bury the pieces All I am is pieces I am what settled on the bottom, The dirty remnants Forgotten and stale Too broken to finish this tale Bring me back to life I can’t plunge this knife any deeper Eyes dry and conscience fading Escalading and I don’t want to stop it Let the other side rise Time to become that monster in the dark Give me my tribute This poem is Copyright © ToxicityOfTheCity Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
