Her brown eyes
Stare through strands
Of brown hair
Her face of paleness
Sheltered from strangers
Except for herself
Since it still isn't found

Her eyes
Show nothing
The fire's died
Within the black hole
Of her eyes
And her life

Her wrists show
Where the tensions flow
Where the razor goes
Her wrists show
There's reason to live for

Etched in mistakes
Made from pain
Etched in mistakes
For the diary kept every day

Her eyes blackened
Like her soul
Her lips reddened
For the loss of blood
Her face whitened
For the tainted purity
Of undying love

And for today
I etch in another mistake
To cause my decay [comments] => 7 [counter] => 175 [topic] => 13 [informant] => essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 11 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Pale Purity

Her brown eyes
Stare through strands
Of brown hair
Her face of paleness
Sheltered from strangers
Except for herself
Since it still isn't found

Her eyes
Show nothing
The fire's died
Within the black hole
Of her eyes
And her life

Her wrists show
Where the tensions flow
Where the razor goes
Her wrists show
There's reason to live for

Etched in mistakes
Made from pain
Etched in mistakes
For the diary kept every day

Her eyes blackened
Like her soul
Her lips reddened
For the loss of blood
Her face whitened
For the tainted purity
Of undying love

And for today
I etch in another mistake
To cause my decay

Great poem. Funny how scars can say more to people than telling in words... Keep creating and add to the world.

such a sad, yet well written poem. I loved
this it was so honest and written very
poetically. I can relate to this all to well, but I
want to say there IS life beyond the pain. Keep
on writing and letting your pain create works
of art like this one. Soon the sun will shine

Dark and wonderful. Scars are a painful yet semi-wonderful reminder of things done wrong. Kind of like a wake-up call. Great write
