ENVY

Black eyes,
Black lips,
Black beauty scabbed upon perfection,
Stuck halfway to heaven,
Sweetest angel's sick reflection.
If my mind could paint it's suffering,
It would spit across your face,
Stained upon my spirit now,
A portrait of disgrace.
And i'm ripping through my skin,
Wishing i could find you there,
But im left just twice as ugly,
And a thousand times as bare.
Trade myself to drink your poison,
Wishing i could be,
Anwhere but close to you,
And anyone but me.

18

Sometimes,
I want to look as ugly,
As I feel inside,
Want to bend through my reflection,
Till all innosense resigns.
Smear my features side to side,
You couldn’t help me if you tried.

I’m going numb from the toenails up,
And im going dumb but not slow enough,
My tongue is sore, my tastebuds rough,
From telling all these lies.


I don’t want to come out of this,
Is that my choice to make,
Just leave me, you can wake me,
When my deathbed has been laid.


Sometimes,
I want to hurt myself,
Like you have hurt me,
Want to push down hard enough,
Until my purity deserts me.
Drag this metal back across,
I’ve never been much more than lost.

There’s eighteen scars inside my wrists,
That’s eighteen times that I have “slipped,”
Will eighteen be the end of it,
Or could this be my fate?


I don’t want to come out today,
Please don’t make me come out today.
I’ll just sit here bleeding in my bed,
Just sit here, bleed inside my head,
I’d rather bleed until im dead,
Than go your way.

I hate to be rude, but I really did not like this poem very much. One very long rant if you ask me. You seemed to say the same thing over and over.

Sorry, but I just wanted to stop reading after the first few lines...

I don't know, maybe this is a good poem, and I just have bad tastes...

"Two wrongs don't make a right,
but three rights make a left."
