Sleepless Scars

September 29, 2012 --------------------- Trickling down slowly, Over the ridges of old scars, The fresh blood descends Replacing the unshed tears The newly opened wounds breath in pain Dark circles, bags, outline the hollow empty eyes They stare back in utter self hatred and sickening shame The sleep deprived mind spins in circles Dangerous whispers heard all around Blood drips to the floor The worthless nobody Lies, cradling her sleepless scars The red crystals smearing across her face No one will know her feeling of emptiness No one will ever see her sleeping scars Hidden from the world they continue to weep Begging, SCREAMING, for help But they are muffled, silenced and unheard They rot, lonely and cold on their own She pastes a fake smile on her face Covers the hollow black around her dead eyes And walks into the blinding sunlight Cradling, Her sleepless scars...
