Shiney Knife

by Love Fallacy   Nov 16, 2005


Pen and paper, my only tools,
To keep the pain at bay,
I wrote my deepest, darkest feelings,
On that paper everyday,

It didn't take long for the pen,
To finally run out of ink,
So I searched and looked all over,
My new tool I found in the sink,

A shiney knife, so long and thin,
But very sharp to the touch,
Finally destroying all my pain,
I've longed for this so much,

Now I've started, I just can't quit,
This knife I'll never drop,
My life is getting out of control,
But I know I just can't stop,

Now my blood is what I use,
Since my ink pen has run out,
Releasing all my feelings of pain,
Lost love, sadness, and doubt,

Each day I feel more confident,
But more blood is still being shed,
As long as I am feeling this way,
I keep cutting till I'm dead,

I know I'm wrong, and I should stop,
But you just don't know the pain,
Since I've started doing this,
I've finally forgot her name,

Now she's gone from my memory,
And it only cost my life,
I owe it to that special tool,
That long and shiney knife

    There's great sadness, pain and loneliness here. You portrayed a series of very awful emotions here, which were really felt. I like the whole idea of this poem, from the beginning to the ending, it was very smooth and flow-y. I like it very much. Thanks for sharing. =)

    Well this is *very* good in the flow and rhytem(sp?) and I really did like the idea..
    And the poem did rock with your choice of words, But if you could just read me poem "the game of slice and dice" And listen to the last stanza you don't even gotta coment just read it, because like many people I feel/felt that way and I hope you can just buy a new pen =) Instead of risking your life =P Its a great poem, but try to keep writing on -paper- =Dxx
