Despair
Alittle something for Valentine's day,
which personally is the most ridiculous
and pompous holiday a person could imagine.
Hope You Enjoy
(Yes, The title sums this piece up nicely)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a moment, the world stops spinning. I hear you whispering in my ear, your sweet nothings, all the lies you wish desperately for me to believe. "Go Ahead", you tell me, slow and calm, as though to make sure I hear and understand. Everything you are is everything I can't stand, I realize. The sound of your voice, the things you say. The latticework of scars covering my arms tells of your angry words, my tortured thoughts. The night drags on. My blood like liquid steel drags through my veins.
Slow and crawling.
Draining away my will.
Seeping.
Staining your hands. Was this your plan all along, ot torture me, to drive me to this? You achieved your aim. My past was all but forgotten, until I saw your face. You words, like honey pouring off your tongue, now the poison that condemns me.
I fade away.
Slowly.
The pain invading, choking all the senses. The rain tapping its lullaby on the roof calls to me. I sigh. Slowly, so slowly the pain descends. Words, draining, no longer needed. The well of my pencil dry. I've no more to say to you. The heartbeat faint, the breathing shallow. There's only so much pain you can cause, only so much hate you can hold.
I see black and call for you.
But you're gone.
As am I.
Lost in the darkness of a life unlived, a love not shared.
Gone.
Sincerely,
The Music Freak
