Chemical Blood
A simple hint of sadness a sudden flash of memory
Mind opens flood gates dark clouds come seeping in
Rivers of emotion take over as ink begins to flow
Page after bloody page of nightmarish dreams
Nothing is sacred not even my innocence
Do I dare to tell the tales of times long past
Death and disappointment quickly flow from my pen
Confidences broken by whispers of infidelity
Pride can not linger here for I am undeserving
Heavy burdens lay at my feet I struggle to carry
Rocky roads traveled bare feet sliced with each step
Weight of the past wears down on bloody shoulders
A tale to be told yet lips will not part to speak
Tattered pages fill blood stained notebook
Woven web of madness beginning to make sense
Abuse not only to the flesh my mind as well
Broken not just bones my spirit no longer shines
Alone even standing among the crowd
Cold steel brings my only sense of feeling
Open doors yet I can not seem to escape
Blade to flesh drops of blood release of pain
Bind my pages hide them well ink runs dry
Chemical blood flows through my veins
Thoughts grow cloudy all dreams cease
Days pass emotions seemingly inexistent
Induced smile turns up unwilling lips
Ice blue eyes unable to weep hidden tear
Inside screams echo loudly smile remains
Can they see my inner torment raging?
Do chemical smiles fool even those that know me?
Pill bottles at bedside Press firmly to open cap
Script reads increase dosage if thoughts resurface
One turns to six, six to ten who’s counting anyway
Lips to glass quench this thirst swallow capsules
Dreams will cease along with breathing eyes close
Death takes me, suffer no more. pill bottles on my floor
