Array ( [sid] => 69872 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Smudge It All Away [time] => 2004-11-02 17:57:26 [hometext] => This is not, technically, very good at all. But i haven't written in so long, and this took a lot out of me, so i didnt want to change the original. x_x_x [bodytext] => Sickness rises in my throat, trembling hands give it all away.
Stepping across the threshold, I smell that familiar smell
Faces, people, I hide (don't look at me) - I can't face them today;
My face, my non-existence says it all - nothing left to tell.

Tears, pouring as never-ending rain.
They will never understand, if I can't understand myself.
Input from me (they're still waiting), and me they blame;
Grudges still held, mutuality, no attempt at comprehending.

Recognition, dismission, confusion, disruption;
I seem to have done it all over again -
Ruined days, months, lives with my depression
And the ink sets in deeper, an eternal bloodstain.

Hanging by a tenterhook, I wait;
A month to wait for somene to tell me to fight.
I know not how to get out of this state;
Whilst my blood shows me the way out of the light.

Thoughts scattering, mind wandering away from me
To you, my darling, and your face, your lips, your eyes.
I take myself to a land of happiness, where I can be free;
I take myself, with you, to the skies (no more lies).

Thoughts, ideas, of ending it all;
No more hiccups, just one last fall.
No concrete to land on, no pain hereafter;
Just an everlasting dream of myself with you.

Wow I have to disagree with you this was so
amazingly good. I liked the second stanza I
think the best although I loved it all. The
images put in my head were, at times,
disturbing which isn't a bad thing. Wow, really
good poem Char.

So sad. A poignant song.
