faded memory
By gretchen
I am more destructive
then shards of broken glass
blood on the walls
an image of my past
cutting the flesh
to escape the pain
an escape as bitter sweet
as dancing in the rain
haunted by these ghosts
there's no need for protection
from the girl
that tried to grab perfection
i'm holding on
but I keep falling
blood running like a river
because no one hears me calling
in a world of my own
just reflections of me
shattered and corrupted
I'm my worst enemy
no one can save me
there's non one that can help
when the source of destruction
is coming from myself
its getting dark now
its time to run away
i will only cause damage
if i stay
don't think I never loved you
or that yu never held my heart
it's just that everything I touch
always falls apart
i will save you from these rivers
flowing red
I will take away my darkness
so you'll have light again
I love you enough
to set you free
until I am nothing more
but a faded memory

This is one twisted piece of writing, gretchen. I like it :] You know you're no good to yourself, at the same time, eagerly wanting to rescue yourself from yourself, permanently, blending nobility with insanity. Crazy write. Keep 'em coming :]
