Damn this hurts...
The squeeze in my chest
The blood shining on my hands
Trapped under my nails
Is it mine?
Is it yours?
Or is it His?
As I cover my face with my hands
My nose reaches it
The smell of fresh blood
Metallic fragrance
I lick some and consume it
Burns going down
I scream out, "I have every right to be angry!"
"You took him from me!"
"You betrayed me when I needed you most!"
"I fuckin hate you and all that you stand for!"
"Send me to Hell... I don’t fuckin care... I'm in Hell right now without him!"
I stare at a picture of Him just hanging from that cross
Hearing the hymns
Remembering the sermons that I've heard
"He died for you and me." ringing in my ears until I think I might go deaf
I just responded with tears
Red tears streaming down my face
Gathering under my chin then dripping down my chest
Quickly wipes them with my hand
Rubs my hands on my pants
Forgetting that they show on the fabric
Looking around to see a little old lady's stare
I recall her story as the tears resurface
Dead husband early in the marriage
Never remarried
Children don't visit her anymore
Dead brothers and sisters
She's blind yet I know she can see me somehow
I just sob as I look at her wrinkled face
Her wet cheeks
And shaky hands
I start to ball fists in my lap
Looks into her eyes, screams inside
"You just don’t understand! How? How am I supposed to deal with such agony?"
She smiled softly as she walked to me
Reached deep into her purse
Pulling out a crumbled up Kleenex
Handing it to me with her worn fingers
Slowly walking out of the church
I bury my head into the tissue
Completely breaking down before all
Resting my heavy head on the pew as I cry
Finally touching just a little have how much I miss him
The measure of hate I have for God
How far that I have to go
Falls onto the floor
Punching it as hard as I can with both hands
Bloodying my knuckles
Jumping to my feet to rip the Crucifixion picture off the wall
Shattering it to a million pieces
Smearing my blood all over the walls and building
Collapses on the back row
Stops for a moment to stare down at the picture
My blood dripping down it
Staining the paper
Covering the face
Shakes head as I walk out the church
Runs through the double doors in the middle of a sermon
Vowing never to turn back
Slamming doors behind me violently
Laying my face and hands against the white door
Battling with myself to go back in
I begin to weep as I walk away...
I swear this drama bullshit never ends
Just when I think it is
I'm proved seriously wrong
Is everyone fuckin stupid?
Telling lies...
Making up plans that no one knows about
Then out of no where you're supposed to go with it
Fuck that...
People just need to leave me the fuck alone
Let me lock myself in my room
Away from everything that haunts me
I get phyically ill when people use me for their own benefit
Not telling me the whole truth
It makes me so fuckin angry when you pulls this, Mel
You're fuckin 26 years old goddamn it...
Fuckin act like it
I'm younger than you and I dont pull this shit
I'm tired of playing ur games
Your petty little games that always blow up in ur face
I refuse being a puppet in ur play
I'm cuttin my strings
I'm done
Fuck this game you insist on playing
Fuck you
And fuck everything else...
I can be perfectly happy without you
And the bullshit that flies out of ur mouth
They devour me whole
Eat at me until I think I might go mad
I sit here trying to think of why I'm friends with you
My list is bare
What do I get out of it?
Not a damn thing
It's all me, me, me... with you
You only helped me to help you
I look away because I cant stand to see your face
I don't speak because I'm afraid of what I'd say
I don't touch you because I've afraid of what I'd do
So in other words, stay the fuck away from me
I don't need you...
Never did
Never will
This bullshit is getting old fast
Have I ever told you your voice makes my stomach turn?
Well, it does...
Why do you insist on shoving these empty promises down my throat
Then act surprised when I choke
You rip my already broken heart out of my chest
All while smiling of course
Looking as innocent as you possibly can
So you can say that you unintentionally caused me pain
Then turn on the tears and everything will be OK
Hold ur breath on that one
Cux it wont happen this time...
Not ever again...
I swear you've got fuckin brass balls with the shit you pull
Do you honestly think that I'm ignorant?
That because ur typing, I won't know what you're really doing?
Did you ever really know me?
Oh, you say that you do...
Keep thinking that...
But I know you... all too well...
The painful words
The fake smile
The icy touch
The poisoness kisses
The patronizing way you said "I love you"
I know you...
Therefore, I hate you...
I loved you...
Therefore, I loathe you...
Remains silent
No words seem to satisfy
Keep talking... dig ur grave...
Never knew when to shut the fuck up
Well, baby, heres the shovel
Dig away...
I won't destory you yet
No, it's not the time nor the place...
What fun would that be anyways?
I much rather just sit back and observe for now
Dig that hole deeper... and deeper until ur hands are bloody
Then dig some more...
No pain... go gain remember...
I'm surprised that you havent cracked a joke yet
Talk about perfect ending to this
Shows maturity though
One small victory
Shit, spoke too soon...
Do I look like I'm fuckin laughin?
You miss me?
Fuck you...
Compliments
Of course, why the hell not?
You've tried everything else
Dead end after dead end gets annoying, dont it?
Keep knocking ur head against those walls until you think ur head might shatter
Grit the pieces in ur teeth...
Savor the taste...
Welcome to my old life, asshole
Let's talk about ur whore of a mother
Great idea by the way... *rolls eyes*
She always did treat you like shit
Don't know if I would call her a mother
But whore is definitly on the money...
Literally...
Ah, i see she's not dead yet...
Damn
I'm giving you one more chance to redeem urself
I'm feeling generous...
Wow... fuckin surprise...
You whine in that "nails on chalk board" voice
No skin off my ass
Cux it's just another nail in ur coffin
So nail away, love... ur dead to me anyway...
Sitting here with my hands covering my face
Tears threatening to fill my eyes
My pride desperately trying to hold them back
Wondering what I did wrong
Where did I fail you?
Did I not love you enough?
I tried to be everything that I thought you wanted
A friend
A lover
I denied myself happiness for ur benefit
But it still wasnt enough
Somehow everything just wasnt enough
You look so peaceful now
Almost like ur resting in ur little wooden box
Hair perfect...
Lips rosey...
I wonder how they do that...
Make them so life-like
As I stare at ur cold body... so pale
Just a shell of the man that I once loved
Serious expression on ur face
Almost like ur disappointed at me from the grave
Might as well be
Nothing was ever good enough for you
Let me see if I've got the picture right
I finally couldnt do it anymore
Couldnt coexist with you when I got nothing in return
You then realize how valueable I was to you
Which is so completely like you
So there you are drowning in ur own misery
Because damn, you have nothing to blame for ur life being shitty anymore
You grab ur bi-polar pills (30 in all) and down those with vodka
Great idea, sweetheart, by the way *rolls eyes*
Never was a drinker
But I guess you decided to finally let loose for a change
That doesnt kill you so you decide that cutting urself would be better, Mr. I Hate Pain
You get the knife... cut deep into ur wrist
You start to freak when you realize what you've done
Feeling the blood flowing out of ur veins and onto the bed
One thing you never considered
The pain
Its unbearable, isnt it?
Ironic that you did this act to escape the pain
Theres a part of me that will be sad from ur absence
Always wishing that if I just gave alittle more
Just alittle
But then theres the other part of me that wants to scream...
"Burn in Hell, mother fucker."
I feel like fuckin stoking you
But I'll grip the coffin until my knuckles are white
And just settle for yelling at ur lifeless body
As crazy as that sounds
You never did let me plead my case on anything
Guess you wont be having the last word this time
Enjoy the worms, my love...
A compliment is like a man slowly playing with the strings of my corset then with each word, untightening just a little more until my breast are exposed .... knowing that it makes my heart pound wildly as it begs to be free of my flesh clothed body.
You might consider the reason why I don't tell much about myself is because nothing seems important enough to tell.
All seems so insignificant and vain... and honestly, after as much heartache and pain that's somehow made it's way onto my door step in the last couple of years... *turns head away* I'm afraid that I'm not the person that I used to be.
Strength was stripped from me...
Instead of fighting when the unbearable agony came... i bowed to it... welcomed it almost...
Surrendering to the chains of despair and hiding in the darkness to the wounds that seemed to eat right through me.
Dripping my known blood... hiding from the vultures that wish to feed on my dying soul...
Therefore, the night's my companion... none other knows me... or truly sees me for who I really am... the scars from battles lost... the pain of true loss and being raped of my pride...
So, I sit in the pitch black blanket of existence... with my knees to my chest... my dark hair down and covering my face, blocking any light that may creep its way in... rocking back and forth... asking anyone who can hear me, "When's it going to stop?"
Silence...deafening silence is always the answer... its an answer that doesn't answer any questions... gives no resolution... or release... nothing that would benefit me in any way...
So there you are... unsatisfied in your sadness... bathing in it like a pig in mud...
Like the pig with its mud, sadness is all I've ever known...
I vaguely remember being happy... or being so obliviously blinded by my own naiveness...
I used to think that all we needed was love... but that fairy tale went up in smoke one day... burned to ashes right before my eyes... no warming...
There's nothing more heart breaking... or earth shattering then to know that your god has screwed you over royally... somehow forgot about you even tho you dedicated your life to serving him...
The god that never sleeps, closed his eyes for a split second and...
POOF!
Everything you hold dear is gone... never to return. Ur rock... your crutch... your very soul has been ripped out of your chest...leaving this gaping hole...
So now your left to decay in the shadows...
Hanging onto anyone for momentary comfort...
Clawing down your arms and body... trying desperately to shed yourself of the decaying covering...
Searching in another eyes... looking for something... anything that will help the day go faster... so you can get on with the next day of wallowing in your own self pity and misery...
*looks you deeply into the eyes as I reach out for you* let me hide myself in thee...if only for a moment...
~dedicated to you... (You know who you are... *winks*)
*glances down at long slender fingers... rubs them up and down pale legs... slow at first then faster to create heat* Darkness has its advantages and disadvantages... which one is more, you ask? *twirls hair around finger-tips* You know... i just dont know... its hard to ponder such a question when ur heart is so burdensome in ur chest...
Almost like a heavy brick...
*lays on floor in fetal position and rest head on hands* This position always did make me feel most protected... *allows hair to cover face as I lay in silence*
It might seem as though I'm praying, but dont be fooled... I'm not...
Prayer? *snickers as a single tear slides down dry cheek and onto the cold ground* yeah right...
If I could somehow overcome the anger, confusion, depression, and every other emotion that flows through these veins of mine.... the ones my warm blood know so well...then maybe... (BIG maybe) I can pray like I used to.
Darkness never forsakes... it never sleeps... doesnt have an agenda nor ask for an reservation.
Instead it waits with its arms stretched wide to usher me into its seclusion of sweet slumber... asking no questions... just completely accepting me as I am...
Broken, I am... torn at the seams...
Sometimes the struggle is too hard... so brutal...
To wait for redemption from unbearable agony is the theme of my life...
Therefore, the only thing I can do is hide in these strong arms that surround me when the world is so cruel.
Oh how I adore thee, my dark companion... my only love... *wraps self in the midnight and atempts to summon the good times that has been lost somewhere along the journey*
I don't know if anyone else does this, but I tend to get very depressed sometimes and the first thing I do when i get that way, i sit in the corner of the room... no lights... nothing. Just total darkness. Oh, that welcoming darkness... it doesnt judge you... doesnt care why you're there... just perfectly content to hiding you from all that hurt you.
You sit there... cross ur legs in, what they love to call, "Indian style" and you start to wonder how it got to be this bad. No, you dont have a gun, knife, or anything like that in ur hands, but you still have that one moment where you wonder if you should get one. You shrug it off... tell urself that ur not nuts... ur not that hurt... you can get through this.
Before you know it, you're reciting that to urself over and over again. "I'm fine." "This is NOT that bad." "I can make it through this."
Your nuckles are white now... from you balling them in fist... because theres nothing more that you want... crave then to be "OK." I naive person would say "Normal" There is NO NORMAL. What's normal for me... is crazy to you... whats crazy to me... is normal for other people. The person that made up the word, normal... should be shot. OK OK... im getting off that soap box.
So, there you are... totally vunerable... naked in a sense... you've never felt this bare in ur life. You're angry because... Hell! you should be out doin something... anything! Instead ur sittin in a damn corner... hiding urself from the world. (which doesnt work might I add... the world always finds you)
Tears? Hell, tears dont solve much... only ends up giving you a headache... messing up ur beautiful black eyeliner... and maybe its just me, but those tears seem to strip you of ur pride... digenty... all that you hold dear.
So, you fight them off... maybe wipe a few off that you couldnt hold back. A couple deep breaths and you feel like new... I wish I could say that... that by just two or three small breaths life would just climb off of ur shoulders for one moment... one minute... and you can breathe. REALLY breathe.
But unfornately, life's a bitch, who's hands are always around ur neck... choking you until you just wish that death would come quickly...
Then it happens...
A knock on the door... a familar voice of a loved one...
You slowly get up off of the ground... brush urself off just out of habit... and you forget about ur personal struggle for another minute to help someone else fight theirs.
