Shattered glass scattered upon the floor,
from glass figurines given to me as a child
Holes punched through the walls,
resembling the jagged holes in my soul
Bed sheets torn by a sharp blade,
the blade still being a mystery
that I am unable to find
Paint spattered all over the room,
streaking on the walls
and sinking toward the floor
Blood soaking into the floor boards,
from when I danced with the broken glass
Set fire upon pictures and bitter memories,
matching the blaze in my eyes
Etching words into the tables and my chair
that even I don't quite understand
And the blade slips along my wrist
and my blood and tears flow as one
Fallen to the floor,
without even realizing it
Every movement long and heavy
like a heartbeat
and slower the pace becomes
I'll wait for someone to save me
I don't want to have to do it again,
not again
God tell me there's someone else..
send someone for me besides myself
But as it all slowly fades away,
strength returns to this lifeless figure
And once again somehow I'm standing
With the sun setting,
darker and darker it becomes in this room..
And after the wounds have been patched up,
never to heal
After both the tears and blood have dried,
for now
After the mess has been cleaned up
and a lie thought up for the unfixable
The disappointment settles in
along with the grief
And still the room gets darker,
much too dark to see

Note: Sorry, this is kind of a wack job poem but it was...well confusing and even though some things were never meant to be understood, still I try. I hope atleast someone gets something out of it. -Allana

Inner rage expressed, rage at even, perhaps especially, yourself. I can't release mine, it eats me like a cancer even now. I hope you continue to post, I feel alone.

Rage somewhat but it also has to do with the whole alone thing. It gets tiring to think that you can be near death (literally or not) and still you only have yourself. But darkness grows on you after a while. Unfortunately it also has the power to consume.

The disappointment settles in along with the grief. Well Done.

Nothing to apologize for here, D.E.,
In the train wreck of emotion I call a brain, this made all the sense in the world. Good job.
