Letting Go?

By Deadly Embrace

I pick away the scabs,
Covering up the scars
With garments of black..
Yet, to me they are
still visible..
I was so ashamed,
I held onto your embrace,
Yet your arms lie un-opened,
and tears stream my face,
I've tried to push it all away,
But it is for you, I have wept,
I'm so sick of this feeling..
And puking up this regret..
It's all so familair,
Yet I can't seem to let go..
You're all I've ever loved,
All I have ever known..
Feeding off my hate,
and the pain that you endure,
It seems so far from reality,
As if it were all a blur,
But, I have no remorse for you,
My tears are clean and dry,
No longer are they shards of you,
That pierce my mournful eyes.
As they softly bleed...
From this I have chosen..
You drown me in your selfishness,
From your lack of devotion..

    Those last two lines... you are such the deep-hearted romantic are you not? Easy, you may bleed, yet all the minions of hell could not break your loyalty. So rare. -Michael

    Lack of devotion. Sounds like somebody might have been a bit unfaithful. Whatever the case this is still a beautiful write. The beauty of pain is it makes for great inspiration :)
