Array ( [sid] => 8702 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Binding [time] => 2002-12-16 21:40:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] =>
My regret is eating me away;
Eroding my soul,
Tearing my heart,
Extinguishing my passion.

My remorse is eating me away;
Burning my brain,
Obstructing my thoughts,
Shredding my existence

My pain is eating me away;
Dissolving my skin,
Breaking my bones,
Piercing my body

It’s like salt in the wound;
Getting betrayed,
Being stepped on,
Taken advantage of.

Like never knowing the answer;
Why this is,
Why it’s you,
Why it’s now.

Not being able to move,
I’m totally numb,
I feel nothing,
It’s all darkness.

It’s the changing winds;
The pouring rain,
The thunder’s bellow,
The crack of lightning

Something we all feel,
Real though it hurts,
Meaningless though it matters,
Provoking though not intriguing

It’s what we are made of,
The wavering emotions,
The frantic fear,
The thoughts we have.

It’s all so binding,
The things that taunt the mind.
Exposing emotions never to be shown,
Destroying all of mankind.

~Leah Vahn Carver

the syntax and the parallel structure of the stanzas really bring out the tone of resignition you seem to have. great work. i hope to read more of your poetry!

leah i still say you sound suicidal. it's a good poem but for a person like you it doesn't fit your personality.

Very dark, I like how you kept the format with each stanza and just changed the words, makes it sound songlike...
