Safety Net

by Evadelasmiley   Nov 11, 2010


These bruises collect, and
They won't stop bleeding.
My heart beats faster, but
I'm already dead.
This can't continue
These graceful falls,
With nobody at the bottom
To catch me.
Time and time again
I am brought up,
Only to be let go at the top.
The ground is always hard,
The heartbreak even worse.
Is it just me?
I think it is.
I think I climb the ladder
Ever hopeful and trusting
That my safety net will be there,
Yet it never is.
Maybe one day it will be
But today it is not.
Maybe one day I'll meet my
Safety net
But today is not that day.
I'm falling through the cold,
Lonesome air
Waiting for that feeling of relief
When my body is caught up
In my lovers arms.
All I can see
Is my now dead self, and
How nobody seems to notice.

    I thought it was great. very dark and introspective and something many of us can relate to. I don't even think that you need your final 2 lines.

    How nobody seems to notice

    ^A strong ending point.

    Great job.

    Wow... this poem is so deep and heartbreaking... I love everything about it. I can really relate to it... the idea of falling and not being sure of having a safety net, someone to catch you... You express difficult emotions so wonderfully. Well done!
