Array ( [sid] => 179071 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Craving [time] => 2014-08-14 22:21:36 [hometext] => I was doing ok for a while - I can't win this disease [bodytext] => Missing the way it would drag across my skin,
My most perfect release; the perfect sin.

Like the junkie misses the needle;
I promise, the cut will be little.

My soul has been hollowed out,
My future so shrouded with doubt.

Lost in my vast emptiness;
Entirely consumed by darkness.

This battle of self-loathing has me defeated;
Nothing but blackness & hate so deep seeded.

Swallow down this mouth full of pills;
a crumpled mess on the floor as it kills.

It's not easy for me to hide
All of this damage inside.

Invisible, forgotten, non-existent;
Shoved to the background in an instant.

Always alone on the outside looking in;
I've become unsure of who I am once again.

Nothing left but a hollow shell of life;
Just a broken woman; consumed by strife.

Bitter sweet freedom I can already taste on my lips;
Where's my vodka? I know there's still a few more sips.

There was nobody there to try & stop her,
the sadness consumed her like it was cancer.

This time she knew there was no other way out;
No one could ever understand what she was about.

Isolated herself from the world outside,
behind a plastic smile she would hide.

A broken heart unable to be made whole;
Empty & hollow inside - a lost soul.

Finally putting an end to the pain -
her warm heart has run cold in vain. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 123 [topic] => 36 [informant] => Shadows_In_The_Darkness [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )
