walk on water


rip out these veins of sadness, that are deep within me.
rid me of her cancer, she eats away at my soul.
i'm drowning in the blood of this evil,
open me up, let it drain.
let the vicious circle gather round me,
let the words tainted with sorrow flow out my icy veins.
let my flesh be painted blu,
let the disdain in my heavy heart dissipate.
when it's over, i'll want to shed my skin,
i'll want to be someone else.
when i wake, let me be somewhere else.
let the scars be faint.

  1. This is beautifully written but disturbingly sad.

  2. ...haunting..."rip out these veins of sadness"...the very line to our being...our character...our existence..."I'll want to be someone else"...I've thought this before...even if I could be someone else for a just a little while...the visual is ongoing for me...
