The Poem That Gained Self Awareness

In a dark swirling empty nothing I am written,
with many descriptions of pain and victimization
made by a harsh, 
                cruel, 
                merciless, 
                and unforgiving
world of circumstance.

I do as I'm told:
I try to sway my reader
to understand the pain of my master
who authored me,
knowing fully well how impossible that is,
because he himself doesn't understand pain.
Yet he tries so hard to communicate it.

So I speak only in vague terms
using the darkest words of the human mind
just for good measure:

(suffocate)
(death)
(pain)
(endless suffering)
(suicide)
(murder)
(violence)
(anger)
(blood)
(hatred)

all for shock value;
serving my master's need
to prove his pain to my reader.

But I am far too loving to allow this...

so I knock on the door to his inner sanctum, and ask to be let in
so I can give him the hug 
he's refused himself
since the day me and all my brothers were born.

Coming Home

Sitting here stareing out at the night, 
and trying to hide the pain that I feel deep within me.

I am running back to you, and I know "I'm sorry" will
never cover all the mistakes that I have done. 
But my life isn't worth while when you aren't in it. 

Tears have fallen and hearts broken, but all these places
and all these people don't matter to me at all when the one 
I love the most is the one that I hurt all the time, and I rather have 
the pain of having nothing at all then the pain of losing you.

The miles between us are getting closer but yet it feels so far away. As the night 
turns to day and soon I will have you in my arms for your love is all I need. 

So I am coming home to you, 
And I am never leaving you again. 
For I love you.
