Never Again

 

 

Where have you gone, did you finally find a way out

Everything turned out wrong, I have blanketed myself in doubt

 

But I still watch the sunset everyday

Hoping someday I'll find a way

 

To leave everything that hurts me far behind

But escaping this pain, is hard sometimes

 

I cannot control the memories that lurk inside my brain

I wish at myself, I would no longer feel ashamed

 

But this scab of mine will not stop growing

Once it starts, the blood, it keeps flowing

 

And the walls around me are covered with my mistakes

People judge me, telling me to God I'm a disgrace

 

But one day I know I'll put my razors away

And just maybe then, together forever we could stay

 

To be in your arms, is eternal bliss

If you just embrace me, never again would I cut this wrist

Never Again

Deep, powerful stuff, Cody. This Poem reminded me of the sparkle people sometimes get in their eyes. That was one thing I pictured while reading. I really liked the line 'and the walls around me are covered with my mistakes', that one just seemed to stand out, you know? Great work, man. As always.

never again

Bit deep and maudling for an optimist like me

6 wives later!!!!!!

Itis a cliche, but second marriage is a triumph for hope over experience.

Let me share my favourite death poem.

Let me live out my years in heat of blood

Let me die drunk with the dreamer’s wine

Let me not see this soul-house built of mud

Go toppling to the dust a vacant shrine

Let me go quickly like a candlelight

Snuffed out just at the hey-day of its glow

Give me high noon...... then let it be night

Thus I would go

And grant me, when I face the grisly thing

One haughty cry to pierce the grey perhaps

Oh let me be a tune-swept fiddle string

That feels the master melody.....

and snaps.

That is way to go.

Read "Desiderata"

It might save your life.

Good stuff. It was very depressing and I could sense the hope for things to be different in there. As always you've captured emotion well. keep it coming =]

unusual

most of the poetry of this genre that i have read have been one way (terminal)- this poem ends with a way out...

don't see that often.

good reading as always.

write on!

I shudder at the thouht of what this person has done to you and your emotion. At least you can write awesome poety from your experiences.

I agree with lemon, I also felt a since of hope.

I like your use of metaphors. However, I can't say that I'm too big of a fan of the (sorry, but for lack of a better word) "inconsistent" rhyming between the two lines of each stanza. Other than that, I liked the poem.

This sounds like something I would write. It's a touching piece of work that has an ending that isn't death for the protagonist. When I saw the title I thought it was a story that was on here before. But this was different and I liked it

Difficult to read.

Not difficult because it was in anyway poor writing. Difficult because your words were so obviously from a very bruised heart. I didn't notice the date...but I suspect this was an earlier poem. Your style has developed very nicely. I have read your latest poem. It has an awesome flow.
