My Own Betrayal

It slowly creeps up my spine and wraps its arm around my throat pressing its shining blade into my skin, drawing nothing but a single droplet of blood This is for all the blood I've poured The tears i've cried The hearts i've managed to break And all the nights I spent lying awake For all the trauma i've survived All the lies shoved down my throat All the tears i've cried That have caused me to choke It's all because I couldn't let go I held on, Until there was no rope I have nothing to wrap my hands around And this time, I'm The One That's Going Down.

This was quite a powerful poem. I read it several times. This sounds like a confessional poem. Perhaps now you will be at peace and can perhaps sleep.
