Nothing is left, Lying alone in my bed, I say, nothing is left Don’t whisper obscenities in my ears Don’t touch my withdrawn disposition Don’t make me fall apart so soon Can’t bear to stand the harsh reality of your death Please do not go beyond these limits I have set You are bound to burn and bleed For nothing is left I stopped believing you ages ago Now your lies keep crashing in, banging inside my harrowed insides For the sake of those numbered truths Just go and let me privately wage a war against your sins Today, again when you tie me up to those four posts I will see evil lurking in your shadowed eyes Hoping tonight my shouts would shatter your stoned resolve Do your heinous experiments on me Test my strengths and my claims of being human Brand me with the fire of your much-unwanted name But draw the curtains, I say Before my wrists you ruthlessly slay Live on my blood and I on your insecurities, And when you throw those sheets away Hiding and smiling at the world Look for traces of my whispered confessions in them My helpless agonies From which you have forcefully painted out your love Read the stories written on those walls They witnessed so much yet so little This was where you held my hand! Where we came the closest to heaven Through this very room we touched the 7th sky These were the windows, which gave way to our mingled sighs The same night that rained stars in our arms And the same glass that mirrored our every move The very same glass which eats at my flesh today The very same that you now hold in your hand and weep! |

What a powerful and intense write! Misery, you have certainly captured with your words here. Very dark but expressively beautiful.......I enjoyed the read very much! [This message has been edited by ethome (05-22-2002 07:42 AM).] |

Welcome to Passions and this is certainly a strong write on your first poem. I was going to email you to advise you that we have a wonderful Dark Poetry section that this would get a greater audience to read it, as it is a great dark poem. Again, welcome and check out the Dark Forum some time. |

another welcome. i liked this as well - angst, release, loss, grief. all worthy adversaries... but also a part of a whole. "tornapart" fits this well. Christopher |

Welcome to Passions. A delightfully dark offering...like being rung out as an old dish rag. There is nothing left. Well done. INclan |
