7 Words Save Me
By knightmirror
numbed
walking this road
falling
apart behind me with
every
step i continue to
take
it's like day'send
while
i consistenly burn
away
troubles i've created
since
this whole thing started
where is the finishline
just as i ask this odd question to myself
an entity swoops down ripping my unseen
wings off my human shoulders i was saving
for a rainy day
peeling open my stitched eyes
bleeding lashes
that were self inflicted before
my inanimate
birth destined to consu/me
withinsecurities
hailing tears through this
undeserved halo
protecting
nothing
smothering
suffering
bringing
screaming
begging
save me

..I liked the structure of this. Each section in it's own form yet each one flowing into the next. The ending was so hard hitting in it's pleading and quiet request. Astounding.

Such a wonderfully delicate piece, the last line, "save me" really hit hard and ended it perfectly. Amazing work. -L

i'm afraid i have to offer you the banality of "wow" for the triad of lines beginning with "an entity" - that is just simply wonderful, powerful wording. "withinsecurities": fab wordmeld. :)
