Array ( [sid] => 65752 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Saved In Purgatory [time] => 2004-10-01 00:54:28 [hometext] => Sorry for The Length I hope you enjoy [bodytext] => There before me is a knife
I pick it up and start to slice
Slashing away at the pain inside
Wanting to leave this world behind
Tired of feeling so alone
Cutting away straight to the bone
The blood starts to spill out from my arm
Why am I causing so much harm?
Why can’t I escape the pain?
Why do I feel like I am to blame?
I feel my eyes growing heavy as I start to slip
Back and forth from dark to light losing my grip
I have always known I would die
By my hand or the role of the dice
What is killing me most is in my mind
Living a life you cannot rewind
Walking through life with a soul of stone
Never having a place that feels like home
When words lose all meaning and the world its charms
Screaming for death but no one hears the alarm
Finally I am bled dry, I stop, and regain my grip
There is nothing to hold nothing to make me slip
Everything is dark I have reached the end
I look around and am alone again
I start to wonder off and finally see someone else
I start counting from one to twelve
Twelve souls have come here just like me
Twelve souls that were never given a chance to be
And never let in Pease to find solace or closure
Twelve who spent every hardship of life turning to self torture
So I start to walk down this path that I was put in front
Walking alone through hell is not a very smart stunt
I want to walk this path until the end but I see something
What can be in this hell brightly shining and comforting
I stray from this path and head to the light
Will what I see be beautiful or fill me with fright
Do you see what I see in the distance?
I see a girl I fell in love with at first glance
A girl who befriended and then I loved and never told
Some one I never got the chance to hold
A beautiful soul that took her own life
A soul whose death filled my life with strife
I am going to her no matter what I have to let her know
That I still cared for her after her scars took their toll
And that I hated her for never telling me
And for pushing me away from her side and never letting me be
All the things I wanted to be for her
I so wanted to change to world for the better
Just to make it easier for her to be her self
To let her be beautiful and charming like a dark elf
Those that she loved so and admired
Those she drew with hair like fire
I am going to her now or I will never suffer in Pease
I am going after her running faster and faster
Like I have never ran before just faster and faster
I am running without stopping but this feels like forever
I am running as fast as I can but she only gets further and further
I step on a stone and fall the ground face first to the ground
I feel so hopeless is she real is anyone around
Do you feel what I feel someone warm hands lifting me
Warm hands like a summer’s day when the wind lifted me freely
It’s her she’s so beautiful saving me now as she did in life
She always made me feel like I could fly
But still I never told her how I really felt now I wear it on my wrist
I want to say I am sorry but I cannot speak can’t even whisper it
She smiling at me and I am feeling better
She’s moving her hand around me and she has wings that begin to flutter
I hold her in my eyes and arms and will always in my memories
Is this real or just another one of my reveries
If it is I never want to wake
This dream of her I never want to shake
We part and she closes my eyes
Tells me I saved her again and it’s not my time to die
I open my eyes not wanting to
Not knowing what to do
And I look to the table
And as something out of a fable
There before me is a knife
I drop to my knees and begin to cry [comments] => 3 [counter] => 145 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Doriens_Picture [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
Saved In Purgatory

There before me is a knife
I pick it up and start to slice
Slashing away at the pain inside
Wanting to leave this world behind
Tired of feeling so alone

Why do I feel like I am to blame?
I feel my eyes growing heavy as I start to slip
