Poem #1

the water stifled me,
out of all my choices,
i chose drowning.

the acrid tears flowed...
but there were none.
the water were my tears.

i was misconstrued on my feelings,
i never shed a single tear,
and if i did, i didn't feel it,
i didn't want to feel anything at all.

instead, my pages turned to crimson.
my soul, stone.
my heart, coal (un-ignited)

there was nothing pure within me
just the black pages
in my notebook.

i felt everything all at once but then suddenly
nothing
at all.

i

needed

those

tears...

and filling my notebook wth empty, and cruel thoughts,
didn't help.
