Somewhere over the rainbow

Why does something so beautiful

Signify such pain

Like a glistening bullet

slowly slipping towards my heart

~~~

Sweet cleanser of my soul

yet your salt makes my wounds sting further

a thousand hurting memories

concentrated into one ball

so fragile

so small

yet how you bruise he who created you

~~~

The torment with which you slip down my cheeks

slowly, slowly, prolonging my agony

as weak as a snowflake

yet impossible to remove

~~~

Like some silent snake

you merely stroke the surface of my skin

yet the marks you leave are so entrenched

sinking further than the knife dare penetrate

~~~

But how you are like me

alone

seemingly unwanted in the world you occupy

No purpose

Hollow and invisible

I really really liked this alot.....it has so much meaning, and it is so deep. This is really emotional.    

I just recently wrote a poem of my own about tears.  

This is great! Keep posting, and I'll definately be reading more of your work....you have an awesome talent! great job!!

Said I'd look forward to seeing your stuff....and had to wait a slightly negative timespan for it.....I was right, you have insight and your imagery is superb.

Check your mailbox, eh?

Yeah I have to admit I wrote this while I was cryin and looking at myself in the mirror and after the one teardrop vanished I kinda just cut through the last bit of the poem without taking much care.
