Haggard Delusions

Save me your lies, just spare me the time
Beginnings and endings now hard to define
Greying and hazy, the edges have blurred
A hollow abyss but I'll never learn

No places to hide or discard this regret
No matter how dirty I'm willing to get
Haggard delusions of honeymoon bliss
Rasping last breaths through lifeless blue lips

Calloused,controlled, bloodied and bruised
I've a heart and a soul that I'm learning to use
I hate how I wait, standing in line
Parading and flaunting your evil designs

Yet still, you abuse once my senses are dead
I can't feel the beat so i claw at my chest
To check I still function, I'm being, I fight
To de-humanise me will come at a price

talk about de human, by endorsing a man that beats girls to the point of being in a hospital? i mean what the hell? i know what it feels like to be de humanised..and will do all in my power to get it back

good poem, i just read a horrible de humanising post endorsing women beaters..I know what it is like to be de humanised...I have been lied about, abused, betrayed..and I will do what I need to do to feel human once again...pain leads people to do what is necessary for survival of the fittest..but i do understand de humanising, i had it for two years while someone remained silent..silence while watching it
