Perfection of Darkness: The Fourth Book of Poems

Verse Twenty Three: Locked Alone

Injured, and left alone

Told me to cry on your shoulder, I shivered to the bone

Took a knife, implanted it in my back

Didn't know I had your head at a gun point

~

You inquired into my soul

Wrapped a rope around my neck and left me alone

Returned forty days after

And asked me how I felt

I said:

I'm locked alone in a room

No cry for help can set me free

I'll always be alone here

It's hard to escape something that's part of you

I'll never see the light

Anything brighter then sun will melt away any fear I have

But it won't matter because that's why I'm locked in here

~

Injured, and locked alone

You made me cuffs of my bones

Left in discord

Left to ponder my thoughts

This is what I want you wanted me to scream:

My bones will stay rugged

No matter how comfortable a room is

My body will stay cold

No matter how warm you are

I'll die alone

Because if I don't then I'll just drag you down to

~

I've sealed my fate

I beg and pleaded for the end but I never knew it'd be this painful

No one has ever survived here

No one will ever want to stay

People will come and go but I'll still be alone

My tears will turn to ice by the time my body's long gone

All I need is you here and you'll help set me free

All I need is death to set me free

But abandonment changed my mind

Made a weapon from my frozen tears

~

My bones will stay rugged

No matter how comfortable a room is

My body will stay cold

No matter how warm you are

And I'll die alone

Because if I don't I'll just end up dragging you down to

~

Hunger won't ever be able to cease

A waterfall of tears will attempt to drown you

Sorrow is something that never gets old

I love to feel it and I love to cause it

But every once and awhile

My body just won't stay cold

Even if you destroy yourself here

It'll all be because you see good in me

I'm just crying alone in my soul

Waiting for you to help me

And causing others pain to distract myself from my own suffering

You better hope it's not to late till the claws of insanity drag me to Hell

~

Injuried, and left alone

Tormented, and locked in cold

Obscured, and painted in black

Hiding behind a curtain for you to come back

And when you do you'll see that you'll be locked alone

When you do you'll really feel pain

That I'm done, your life is in vain

~

Rugged bones and left alone

I needed to stab her twice

But I stabbed her seventy times

I only had six bullets

But I managed to find some more
