Torn apart

by Nathan Hickling   Jun 11, 2007


From left to right,
Top to bottom,
The knives pierce my skin,
Tearing me apart.

Pulled forward,
Pushed backward,
Ripped left,
My skin is ripped,
Tearing me apart.

I cannot feel it,
My skin screaming in agony,
I cannot hear it,
The hole forming in my flesh,
Tearing me apart.

My heart is beating,
Blackening to the world,
I can no longer feel,
Attacking those close,
Tearing me apart.

Yet i do not know why,
These blades cut me,
These people move me,
I cannot live,
Tearing me apart.

The pressure rising,
The darkness falling,
The twilight fading,
Feelings rising,
Tearing me apart.

This darkness falls down on me,
Crushing hope,
Unlocking my demons,
Tearing me apart.

The blades open my scars,
Open my mind,
Open my heart,
The blackness pouring out,
Tearing me apart.

Ripped apart,
Torn asunder,
Breaking down.

I am not long for this world.
