And tonight I'll stay up all night
Writing poetry on my walls
Carving your name on my floor
With a sharp knife that I once used
To cut myself open with. (One I still use)

It's 11pm and one hour to tomorrow
Seems to be taking forever, I don't
Know how much sleep I'll get tonight-
I'll lay there with my open-cut wound
Waiting to be strong

I want to take a walk along
The deserted streets, where spinning leaves
Have something in common with my
Spinning head, when did this feeling of longing,
Take over the one of apathy?

When did my mind confuse living with
Being dead?

"i'm a light headed wonder."

I love the description in here... could clearly picture the events you discussed, and I could feel what you were feeling...

This poem had a definite impact on me. Well written, I can't wait to see more.
