Suicidal Dreams

by Toni   Jun 15, 2005


Nothing’s alright, no nothing’s okay
I’m broken and I’m torn
And for every single tear that falls
Another fake smile is worn

Well the smiles are translucent now
For the pain’s too much to hide
Every attempt at life is futile
I promise, I really tried

Those shadows that I fear the most
Are swallowing me whole
I’m too sick to even fight for my breath
As I slowly lose control

Despair and tears pull my flesh apart
Carving death into my veins
Darkness cascades over broken truths
Now soaked in old bloodstains

A pillow of dreams now shattered and scarred
Laid to rest in a dusty drawer
A body of hopes now pale and weak
Choked with pills upon the floor

And those flying fears have followed me
Spinning circles around my hope
I’m spiralling in an endless mess
Spinning, hanging from my rope

Jumping from everything that I knew
Falling free-fall in the air
Escaping life one very last time
So overcome with my despair

The water comes to meet my lungs
Splashing sadness in my strife
Filling me with a desperate calmness
I’m trading death for life

So tell me everything will be ok
Whilst I’m splitting at the seams
The shadows will come and I’ll be alone
With it’s suicidal dreams

- Mm sorry its a bad time x

    Omg, girl!!!!!! Toni!! Are you okay? I would hate it if ANYTHING happened to you! Please tell me you're alright. But if you have to lie to do that, then don't. Tell me what's going on! Please! You sound really upset. It was such an amazing poem, like the rest of yours, but the vibe I got was horrifying!! Please get back to me soon!!!
