Poem by Myself

[scharf]

oh rusty nail
my only friend
you pierce the flesh
and absolve my pain

the blood slowly drips
my composure fails
failing - just like everything
everything else in my life

when i am alone
i feel so hollow
nothing to go on for
feeling starts to cease

i am not loved
i am not capable of love
i can't stand this way
this way of life kills me

it kills me just the same
the same as the nail
the nail that pierces my flesh
and absolves my pain
