Confessions Of An Insomniac

Midnight Mistakes

Midnight Mistakes

The blood slowly gushes out of my freshly cut wounds

Drenching me in my own mistakes

Each violent wave crashes and pulls at the shore

With each new step my feet sink into the cold, sharp stones, slicing open my bare skin

I don't feel my new found pain, although it's appearance is refreshing

The tears slide down my cheeks as I draw closer to the end

My screams become muffled as my lifeless black hair violently

caresses my pale cheeks

My ice cold eyes show the brutal beating my heart is enduring

The pain is excruciating

I fall to my knees just as I reach the water's edge

I drag my bruised, discarded body further into oceans soft whispers

My struggles entwine with the calming breeze, as my secrets leak out into the wind

The brightly lit moon shines into the dark depths of my watery saviour

The whispers take me deeper, deeper and deeper

I no longer feel the bottom; I am no longer in control

For a minute everything is still

The only sound is that of a breaking heart

I close my wounded soul as the betrayal seeps into my final nightmare..

**************************

The shadows snake there murderous hands around my waist pulling me under

I struggle and scream but it's too late

Darkness takes over my empty thoughts

My eyes are stitched shut as I take my final breaths

The last of human pain burns my throat as I plunge into the depths of the unknown

Freeing myself from the lies and deception that had consumed me

I am no longer lost; I no longer carry the burdens of the mortal world, no longer am I alone

I am my own killer
