Eroded – Pain lies permeated,
Corroding the self that exists,
Promises of release reflected
Down the bloody splintered wrists.

Fractured – the memories bleed
On to the flesh, bruised and torn,
Cradling the pristine dreams
Slaughtered, yet never born.

Displaced – malice now parades
Cherished in the disguised vial,
Protected in the silhouettes
Of the enshrouded denial.

Wasted – the fragile self crumbles,
Deafened by razor blade screams,
Impetus of the vortex transcends
Through the serene opiate dreams....
