I am putting a warming on this as a precaution. There is mention of self harm but it is needed to complete this poem. So please if you are offended by that kind of stuff don't read this poem. I think it is one that could benifit from being read by everyone.
===================================================

Left wandering
Alone
The inner streets
Of my mind
Where have they gone
My friends
My family
I thought I saw them
But they twist
Fade
A flicker
A memory
Bringing tears
A cold wind
Freezing them in place
All houses
Dark
No fire
Just cold
The food
Filled with maggots
Frozen
Poison
The mirrors tell a lie
Skin
Bones
Eyes hollow
Black
Sunken
Scars
Too defined
Too dark
Too visable
Bruises
Out of color
Out of shape
Out of date
Old cries
Echo on the wind
Mourning
Scorning
Breaking me down
The streets are littered
With glass
Razors
Knives
The grass has all died
It seems failure thrives
Birds that once sang sweetly
Now die in the skys
Blood runs in the gutters
From wounds left unhealed
Leaving stains
Of tainted memories
The mark
Of sin
To love that wich is like you
To break your family
Self inflicted wounds
Their scars
My reminders
Like a neon sing at night
You can't help but notice
Withering in the light
Hissing
Spitting
Light causes pain
The night was my creator
My eyes cannot adjust
My skin feels it ten times worse
The dark enfolds me
Shooths what light has just touched
Leaving me wondering
Is it really worth it
Living in the light
When your a child of the night


"Love struk my heart and it fell from the sky. I wish I wish it not to die. And if it goes and your to late I wish I wish you not to hate."

Of course it is! but then,
I was a child of the dark
left to shine a light...
kinda like some underground cave creature
that can't help but glow in the dark
*sheesh*
thanks for sharing your lightbeam

...Left speechless...words evade me...my feelings tell me to say something but words are too slight and too crude.  I know you know how my heart beats and what it feels.  But it would be vulgar of me not to show my presence and kneel before you humbled by your poetry.

you know, you need to listen to:

"GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR!
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven"

google it . . . you have written the Apocalypse.
