i could not bleed enough
I cried myself to sleep each night
my life was just too tough
and here i was at life's end
my mind completely blank
my blood spilling out on dark red sheets
into the black i sank

the tongues that slashed at my mind
now suddenly disappeared
but it was too late to save myself
i had given into fear
the blood was just so beautiful
my mind was just too blank
numb i sat in silence
into the murk i sank

i woke up the next morning
blood fresh upon my face
i washed the sheets myself that day
and bleached the pillowcase
with mind so numb i could not think
i fumbled through my life
trying hard to ignore the siren song
of the still-bloody knife [comments] => 3 [counter] => 204 [topic] => 36 [informant] => Blue [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

hmmm, wow. that's pretty much all I've really got to say. It's amazing, though however depressing it is, it's also beautiful, but in a different sense as a flower is beautiful, or a butterfly. Somehow it shows beauty in pain, though through that pain there is also a sadness that cannot you cannot let others know of what happened.

Wow, Marisa, this is another masterpiece. I also agree with the above comments. It's just simply beautiful. I can't think of anything else, but how much pain there is, but colored with beauty. Wonderful work, Marisa. Please don't let it be true, Darling. Love ya' lotts.

Happier Dayz,
