The unread misery of a poet

I bleed my pens ink 
I stab my paper 
until I wound it with my pens 
I break my diary's back 
I torture my art
my writing kills me  with all emotions 
I let my grief , despair and regrets all at once 
while a giant rock moves inside my throat 
my breath buried 6 feet under 
my eyes stabbed with hopelessness and deject 
I bleed tears 
I torture myself 
only for you to be deprived of the pain 
If only we you loved me enough 
You would see how I torture myself 
I would sell myself 
if only you knew how your hands are stained with our  blood 
the red of love and suffering 
the blue of despair 
the blue of my pens ink 
the secret I have to carry the one you are free from 
I created a world for you from blood sweat tears words and ink 
only for you to never truly know of it let alone live in it 
how is it fair you get to live freely 
while I suffer in the world I created for you
