where the wild flowers grow

Everytime that
I breathe..

Ribs
  pulse
    aching

And I require
a vial of
vanity.

   dirty
mirror
   faulty
wings.

Angel, oh,
angel tap the vein.

Merely
scratched the surface..

scratch

untill
it

   bleeds.

I liked this.  Did you mean vile or vial though.  If you meant vile that puts a bit of twist in it but it certainly doesnt take away from the content of the poem.  Just a little abstract.  Addition!

Wow....Ouch! There's no mistaking this.. Not at all. Those gut-wrenching times that you wish would go, and come again another day if ever at all. This strikes a chord of days you definately wish would find its way away from you, and never return to haunt. Good one!!!

Very dark and mind numbing.  
"dirty

   faulty

Jumped out at me in a million ways.  I loved this!

Meg - actually you had a nice wordplay there:

vile - vial
vial of vanity, vile - as in it repulses you - the image . . .

I adore these lines:

dirty
mirror
   faulty
wings.

look deeper . . .

Meg, Wow!
very intense, i could actually feel myself scratching,
"Everytime that
I breathe..

Ribs
  pulse
    aching"

"Breathing feels like a foregin task"

Great write

"in a past life i was a woodcarver's knife: the sharpend blade of a wood cutter, the eldest son of the chief's brother: a maker of drums"
