Jackie Comeaux Poet I do not know?

Darkness

I feel the darkness rolling in...
like an old friend who knows all my failures,secrets...
all my pain.
My heart races
this friend never knocks...
this friend speaks to me in whispers
reminding me
of all my inadequacies.
I cut I bleed...
the pain helps the pain
for a moment...
is it a punishment
is it a protest
for what should have been...
what should have never been
the tears won't come
there is no cleansing
only darkness
I am drowning
soon i will be lost again.

Sidney Hall Mad Poet July 5, 2010 at 1:55 PM Wow this one it deep. Feels like the soul is lost and although the body and emotions are tormented, pain seems to be the only comfort. Thats what I feel from this poem. It reminds me of my poem contemplating suicide. Good write
