and so it is
mine is the addiction
ruby relief
black of ink, gray of graphite
crimson of blood
I write to distraction
sing to your same
and everything erases that one moment
when blade hits skin
I bleed
but I sleep
I breathe and laugh
I live outside of the knife
it's the surreal glory of the aftermath
it binds me to it's power
water rinses through my hair
fingers work through suds
streaming down wet, slick body
down scars
I am human
they drink
they smoke
they push until they shove
they are human
everyone has to deal
some paint over it with laughter
some breathe sex like air
I, I that am human like them
I drag steel across my pain
cry until resting darkness comes
and wake to tired to stand [comments] => 6 [counter] => 229 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Dri [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Hmmm . . . I like this, and can relate to it (as before, a little too much maybe) but I don't like it as much as the others of yours I've read so far. It has a good message, and is written well, but it just lacks that particular original, eloquent quality I'd been beginning to associate with your work.

Oh well, still a good poem.

i thought this was brilliant, held me from the fist word to the last! i can relate and each word is perfectly chosen. i have read it through a few times trying to find a favorite bit but i can't because each favourite line is followed by another favourite line. this has perfectly captured something for me and was a pleasure to read!

keep posting! x
