A rather morbid poem written on one of my "darker" days. We all have a darkness in our souls – Embrace it for it may never let you at ease.

Bloodstains and Tears

Where have you run to?
you left me alone with the
stain of the tears, the blood
running down the walls of our secret
hideaway, we built bridges
across the gap between our souls
we’re on the edge of the universe
inside of ourselves where
anything goes, anything goes
we spilt the innocent blood
of our virgin minds
we split our skulls and
slit the wrists from which the
handcuffs bound us to life
where am I now?
I’m all alone with the
screams inside my mind
fire burns within me now
I hang from those stabbing words
impaled by life itself
blood smears cover my hands
tears stain my clothes
we slit our wrists
split our skulls
freeing us from mortal life
on the edge of the universe
anything goes, anything goes

    Liked it, moving but as you say – morbid. But we all do have dark thoughts sometimes. I think.

    Some dark thoughts there. But then many of us have dark thoughts on occasion. Here’s a poem inspired by mine:

    I can relate to this poem. It expresses some dark emotions from deep within your soul. I got tingles reading it. Great job and thank you very much for sharing.

    Excellent poem! Unfortunately ,the world seems to be entering a new Dark Ages, rather than enlihtenement….technology used to enslave, not liberate….good job!

    We plunder raid and kill the Universe with our actions and our deeds and everything around is as good as killing a new life around… Shooting to kill new bloods will never take them back to the way they were before and can only make them hate what happened and become deviants for the future….
