[Close the damn door]

By Lightmare

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Close the damn door is that so much to fucking ask? Does anyone hear me screaming or is it just the noises in my head? Tears to flood the oceans welling in my eyes that SHALL NOT fall Churning stomach Straining hands—longing to shred at pale flesh in a futile attempt to rip the last shards of hopelessness from my ragged soul Cleansing not there nowhere There has to be a way to end the pain that doesn’t involve death Where is the gate to happiness? Who stole the key? murmurings of rage boiling in my blood crimson agony scarlet torture Waves of scathing anger washing away the sanctity of peaceful soul Find me, oh dove of serenity!
