Broken

On a special Suicidal Night,
I sit alone inside this nightmare 
In a nightmare with no windows 
Nobody can see me
I can see nobody

Flowers, above
My eyes have darkened to a color never seen before
Forever closed!
 
It Rains!  It Rains!

Beyond this ocean, I've drowned too many times
I remember cascades of water below my eyes
My satin sheets wrinkle and cold
I fail and die every night
No one understands the pain that kills me every day
Wounds that reach 6 feet deep

Lucid demons
Bleeding wrist
Scary dreams
My mind is still screaming
---
Incomplete
Torn
Broken-
Is how I live

I'm alone-
No one's around.
My body's like a coffin
Stiff in my own home.

Every word, every line I can relate to. The times of despair, I was there. I am here and writing, and I hear you.

No words (my comments) can do your poem justice. So now more words...apart from this is a sad (euphemism) story and a brilliant expression of it.
