My Sobbing Wrists

By Fading_Smile

Tryng to let feelings escape onto paper
stabbing myself with the pen
I'll bleed all over this poem
but tears only run beneath the skin

I wish I COULD cry myself to sleep
tears will always wash away
but my pupils are as dry as my soul
and it's either my eyes or my veins

Like every single clock's turned back
you're the cloud lurking over my head
my blood will always dry pitch black
wash away this pain or strike me dead

You say that I never cared
I'm afraid to show you how much I do
so when you take a look at my very arms
know that I did this for you

Well, I basically hate writing these types of poems, but it's just how I feel right now, and I wanted to let it out. So there it is.

  • A former member wrote: I loved the first stanze. How you were just straight forward yet open about holding back true feeling. So many times have yurned to speak my feelings out loud yet always seemed to place my thaughts through metaphores of my poetry.
