Slowly Fading

The light slowly fading,
i saw that familiar puddle,
so dark and black,
i looked back to my wrists,
saw that smooth cut,
so fine under the blanket of blood.

i see this everyday,
each time looking so new,
i never seem to know why though,
that little trickle of blood,
letting it fall in that puddle,
turning so dark inside.

when i am done i clean the puddle,
the rag covered in red,
i grab my arm bands,
slip them over the fresh slashes,
pull my sleeves down around them,
throw the towel in the was and leave.

later i find myself sitting in my room,
sitting by the open window,
i stare down at the cuts,
thinking about what each one ment to me,
as i made each one so deep so sweet,
it leaves me thinking so quiet.

i fall asleep to my own soft cry,
and dream about the way i will die,
it comes to me so clear,
i wasnt meant to be,
i should not be in this world,
do i wake up or not?

  41. like avery one i like it. but i am not a cuter. i am not emo. But i get what you are saying.

  42. Hey, umm..I really like your poem. It is very touching. I believe you have much more talent than you think you may have. You have more talent than a lot of people wish and dream they could have. I have always wanted to be able to write poetry, but I can not. You can though, you are wonderful at it. You should wake up. I am just like you. I cut myself and burn..it is not something I need to do but I want to do it and it helps me. It hurts being depressed and emotional, some people can not help it. I wander every day if this will be the day I die. If this will be the day I take my life. But, for some reason it never is the day. I do not know why, maybe it was so I could read this poem. You have a true talent. remember that, always.

  43. I feel like I have no place in the world, my boyfriends cheated on me and I can’t hold myself together, at least I’m not alone ):

  44. That was amazing. I love to write poetry and I admit i cut so i relate to your poem… You have talent girl:) Don’t ever forget that!
