Thick blood, like water
descended from my father
my pulse boils my veins
my conscience takes the blame

Spilled from my sores
it covers the floor
washes my walls
Profanity calls

Fingers escape me
reach out to my surroundings
enfold the huddled form
to keep it lukewarm

My blood, my pain
seeps out of me
drains my crumpled carapace
in pools around my feet

Crashing on my face
the waves will drown my screams
I open my eyes to see my fate
and sink beneath the sea

"I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation."

well expressed!!  It flows laong nicely... like that of a song.  Of course not a love song ... lol....but still nicely written

A friend, like a candle, is most needed in the darkness.

Thank you. I've been waiting so long for any replies that I'd begun to think it was horrible.

I disagree completely.  I don't think it's horrible at all.  I love your style.  Post some more.  I want to read your stuff.

Whoa...
That was....  I really liked this...

The last stanza is excellent.
  “Crashing on my face
   the waves will drown my screams
   I open my eyes to see my fate
   and sink beneath the sea”
(reminds me of The Great Below by NIN, [a really good song] )
  Anyhow, great job.  Very grotesque (don’t take that in a bad way), and lifelike.  Imagery is wonderful.

i used to be golden, a saint in a  time of sorrow. but then the turning came, and i kiss the sun goodbye. dont you get it? it's always darker in my ey
