Tourniquet...
By Gothchic
My fears of the day are not of the sunrise
But the accusing flames it points at
me
My fear of the night are not the darkness
But the growing shadows deep within
Its the same story with the same ending
Just it always begins differently
I wonder if it makes sense to write again
After all it is like the last
But is it really like the last?
Are the days, the hours, the minutes
the same?
No they are not
And neither is the pain felt everyday
The other day it was pins and needles
Pricking every part of me
Burning, stinging, freezing all at once
And I thought that was the worst
Yesterday was blades and knives
slicing, chopping, stabbing at my heart
Each impact causing excruciating pain
that I beg for death yet holding on to
life
Today its guns and shinny bullets
Staring down the barrel raises the hairs
on my body
I feel the pain after the shot has been
fired
As I watch the crimson flow form a river around me
I am not sure I want to see tomorrow
For each day is worse than the last
And as I lay here gasping for breath
I realise...
That tomorrow will not come...

dam... that is kind'a depressing, but it's a great poem, i found that some great poetry comes from when we are sad or depressed. This been said, still we must not forget to hope for a better tomorrow instead of a worse. after all... hope was the only one left in pandoras box. I hope great days are ahead on your life. take care :)

How telling, yet still lightly veiled? Ahh the torments of choosing to write, not knowing whether it will become a balm or a blade...

the most troubling moment is that between one's birth and death. And every day is a survival. That how it is sometimes.
