Your wedding dress is white and torn
With spots of red, I bet you’re sore
You were something of a pearl
hiding in the deep blue sea
But now where are your bones?
Probably amongst the ideals
on the floor, it’s sad it came to
this, my mother.. my mother
Your lungs aren’t what they
used to be, your chest caves in
Crushing your heart and whatever
else you had hiding in there
Gripping your points, it’s the point -
to kill it, to kill what you’ve become
For battling beasts and demons,
you paid a heavy price, so much you lost
and the people around you, they were too –
stealing from you, and it burns.. it.. burns..
Lonely heart, empty soul.. now you scream
And lose control…

Jumping off… we’re jumping off..
...flying away..

Tell God that I cried

I have a feeling that even if I say "suicide is not the answer" someone's going to remove this anyway, but I figured I'd at least do my part. Having been there before, either through myself, family, or friends, I KNOW that it is not the answer. I'm not saying it because I heard it on some T.V. commercial. Life is hard. It hurts. Keep breathing and you'll see why we bother in the first place.

This is probably one of the most emotional and open things I've ever written... I actually cried very much while writing it.. so yeah... I'd hate to see something so important rejected. However, it happens.

Goodnight my fellow poets..



Think about it.

*hugs memina*
A very emotional piece here, my memina.
And a very well written one.

The ending impacted me most. It seemed so... yearning for peace... the last line is the only line the implys something to me. It seemed like a piece of sadness to your mom... like you are her are clinging to each other in a hard time of life. Or perhaps only you are grasping her. I get the feeling you... feel sorrow for her. Like she's lost all her ideals and beauty somehow. Like life is becoming to much for her, and that impacts you, possibly via a love. It too seems you say it's not all her fault... that you, everyone around you is partially responsible. And it appears you relate very well. You understand, comphrehend. Thus, you jump with her. But the jumping to me seemed.... life you're jumping off a cliff of sadness, despair, clinching to each other, ready to.... try once again. Be refreshed some how, be reawakened. And continue the struggle. Perhaps that is just what I see. But it was a much, much enjoyed piece.

Yours Truely,
Mon Verite

Carpe Diem!

~dark
your poems are sometimes so full of personal imagery that i get a little confused, but in a way i do understand them.  i had to re-read a few parts, but it was still very moving. thank you for sharing this one.

.....Bam. That hits.

Your lungs aren’t what they
used to be, your chest caves in
Crushing your heart and whatever
else you had hiding in there

That stuck out for some reason....
This was such a raw piece...Thank you for sharing it...
