Quicksand

by Singthesorrow   Jul 13, 2008


To know you're killing me inside,
brings you such sweet glory.

To know I'm dying,
creates a smile on your face.

There's no way to make you see,
there's no way to make you understand.

I'm cutting myself deeper and deeper, and it's all my fault.

I'm the one to blame.
I'm the one to put this on.

Wait, am I?
No.
I will not be the one who carries this through.
This isn't fair, to be the only one hurting.

It's not my fault, it's yours.
It's not my liability, it's yours.
I'm not the one to blame, it's YOU.

You deserve this pain,
You deserve this guilt,
You deserve this suffering.

For you I wish the torture you've put me through.
Blood, sweat and gore in your most beautiful dreams.
Scars and bruises, painful memories and badges.

For you to wear your heart on your sleeve, show me your best, I'll show you mine.
I promise I won't play nicely.

    Personally I prefer something a bit more metaphoric or descriptive but you wrote this nicely as well.
    I prefer the ending to the beginning, as the beginning is a little too personal, a little too "I, you, we" kind of thing. But hey, we all write poems to vent and it works damn well.
    Another good poem, 5/5
