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

    thank you for your comments :) yes I am a bit lazy in the spelling department. I always focus more n the raw emotion of it.. I will certainly look out for that now :) Yes I am new here.. I hope to write more pieces here and read others

    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 :]
