We All Fall Down...
By Peyton1
My heart sinks
My eyes blink
As I try in pain to regain my vision
~~~~~~
My mind slinks
My chains clink
As there is made one final incision.
Felt good didn't it?
Sharp blade wasn't it?
Make sure that no pieces are left behind
~~~~~~
I can still taste it
The bitter metallic
The first cut comes crawling back, to mind.
Remember I'm delirious
So why so serious?
WHY...SO...SERIOUS !?
Let's just cut a smile back onto this face!!
~~~~~~
Tears fall like rain all around
Trying to unmask this clown
Frightening is the mind as it becomes wasted space!
How do I love thee, dark days?
Let me count the lovely shades
What goes around comes around is the toughest of lessons to learn.
~~~~~~
So here I go out with my supply of Gasoline
A box of matches and a pyro-tec Magazine
I'm finally ready to light the world on fire, JUST so I can watch it burn!
..........Crashes to Ashes, Lust to Dust, We all fall down..........

This line resonates with me..."How do I love thee, dark days? Let me count the lovely shades"... You have a talent for vivid imagery that makes me jealous! I see the fall...and the pieces that cut and burn to fall with you...come out in every line.

ah yes, my lovely thornless Rose, I absolutely adore your comments dear. The talent you speak of that brings about such vivid dark imagery is, unfortunately, not so easily acquired. This poets quill dips deeply into the ink well each time, for only the ink at the blackest depth is able to be used effectively. Each individual pain must be excruciatingly relived in high definition. Only in that very instant is the quill enabled to translate the experience correctly into words understandable to the reader. The baring of one's soul to all in such a manner, is a most difficult task indeed. But sometimes, such a manner is the only method that will release even a miniscule portion of the heaviest burdens associated with such intense pain. And the burdens have been overwhelmingly abundant many times. So I write of it.....the sad poetry......................~Ace~
