I die again.
Stab this blade
Through my heart again.

I heard your words
All too well this time.
Breaking in my head
The voices begin to rise.

Poisoned soul and
I, I slit my wrists
On this lonely night.
You said, you said.

It’s coming back
Again tonight.
For all the nights
Spent crying in a corner.

There can be no
Dawn for me.
No, I’m too far gone.
Yeah, giving up tonight.

No more scars this time.
Can’t heal when you’re dead.
No more lies this time.
Won’t hear them when I’m gone.

Take my life away
From all I’ve ever known.
Save me from myself
Tonight and hold me
In your arms for life.


The faulty phoenix

'Songy'? The word songy does not come to mind however this was friggin awesome and I loved the rhythm of it. Very sad and melancholy loved it all.

why so morbid? Is that your trademark? As I look through this site...there is so much that is dark, violent and suicidal. Frankly alllthough it is good, I would like to see some light hearted subject matter. Must be too much of a challence with a heavy name like cobalt. A nice white rose, or a pretty white gardenia, some warm oil, heated and a nice massage...I'd save you from your self for myself LOL. Let's see you fall in love, be happy and go on a picnic...take her hair down, watch it cascade down her shoulders..touch it..twirl it round your finger..touch it to your lips...um um.

Beautiful words! I think it's awesome just the way it is, although I do love that last stanza and it would make an awesome chorus... I dunno. I just think this is beautiful.

Its the fourth time I read this poem and I always end this poem feeling very sad. It has a lot of pain in it, its almost palpable. The wording is shattering very deep. Amazing writing, I had to log in to leave a comment, wasn't supposed to login today but this poem urged me to leave a comment. Written with much pain hope this poem is part of your past not present.
