fake twinkle in my eyes

do you hear the screams from the pit?
     the pit of my heart
Do you feel the trembling of my hands?
     As they grasp your trust
Do you really want to pull the pain from me?
     I won't let it go
Black eyes only shine from the contacts
     They really are so dark
And my blue fingers, so cold from neglect
     But what should they feel?
I've smothered my hopes in my tear-soaked bed
     But these tears are my hope
One last thought before my mind shuts
     One second of peace before i close
You never notice the tears drawn on my face
     But you can't wipe those away anyway
You think you've broken through to my insides
     But all you've found is my emptiness
I'll drink in this skin and bones mindset
     And hide behind closed doors again
I'll live and die more times than the scars on my arms can count
     But somehow i'll come back to be tormented again
Copper tones only shine in fading sunlight
     And i shut out the sun too
Light burns my pain and shows me what i am
     Thats why i hide from even the moon
thats why i hide from you though i'm plainly seen
     Don't leave me alone...not this time


now im alone, but not lonely like before

From what i get from this poem i think i can relate. I like the part:
~I will live and die more times than the scars on my arms can count.~
That line stood out the most to me. But thats just me. I love your poems. This one maybe a favorite, atleast till you write another.
