New Poem
New poem:
I close my eyes.
And imagine a world
A world where I’m not alone.
A world where I don’t drown in my cries.
I slice across my skin
And imagine a time.
A time where I was free
A time when I was not afraid of my sins.
I curl up in the darkness
And imagine a friend.
A friend who would ask about my wounds and tears.
A friend who I could give my heart to tend.
I paint across the paper
And imagine someone to love.
Someone I could tell my secrets to
Someone whose love would never taper.
I pull the gun to my head
And imagine a place
A place where I can be happy
A place where I don’t feel numb and dead.
I’m done imagining now.
I’m ready for the real thing
I’m ready for the place where I can truly smile
And now…
I'm gone
Not that happy with it. I'l probably end up changing it somehow. If so, I'll post the new version as well.
