Words
echoing in my thoughts
for they weren’t uttered
only written
tattooed on my bleeding heart
red liquid emanates from my veins
I’m drifting in and out of reality
trying to escape
the world I created for myself
a fantasy life
that can never exist in my love’s heart
an ounce of feelings
an ounce of hope
lost in short breaths
the hushed sound
of my life
escaping from my soul
I’m fading into this nightmare
a challenge I was
that is all
an easy conquest
sensitivity is my curse
love is my downfall
in and out
dark and dim
flickering is the light
God knows when I will shine again

I especially like this…evocative…
sensitivity is my curse
love is my downfall
in and out
dark and dim
flickering is the light
God knows when I will shine again
