Bleeding Sea

It's tiring, I can't find a way out

Scratching the surface, but can't dismiss the doubt

These people, to them I will turn my back.

It was only ever about what they gained and what I lacked.

And always I will curse these scars on my skin.

Nothing, they are forever worth.

We will never portray the good we have within.

As you endlessly put yourself first.

And I've been thinking about this,

As to how there is no rest.

Supporting my theories, analyzations put to test.

As our hearts fade to grey.

Bleeding to death, drowning in the rain.

Love comes, but never stays the same.

The seas rise, once again.

The lies define me, once again.

And I'm succumbing to this, could be forever my friend,

Until we see a day that gets shrouded in peace

Arrested the cure, to spread disease

Healed the strong, but condemned the weak

But sitting here, it's all I can do.

Watching beautiful eyes of crystal blue,

As they come to a close.

And all these years of life.

Where have they gone, I do not know.

Coming true, are all the things I never show

As delicate tears drip down my face, so slow.

Pain, and its inevitable flow.

Desecrated, lays everything I tried to grow.

And it hurts, here in the bleeding sea.

I open my eyes, but refrain to see.

No more restrictions, but  will I ever feel free?

Gone unanswered, was just another of my lonely pleas.

Where is the person, that I once referred to as me?

Posted by J Writes Again 2008-09-21 00:01:30 Poignant This is one remarkable poem. You say as much between the lines as within. You really challenge the reader to think. Adding to my favorites. Very impressed. J. + Report this comment
Posted by b.k. 2008-09-21 10:12:13 .... well, as always, i loved it....i honestly don't think there are enough positive adjectives to describe this....the end really made an impact and tied it together...after i finished reading it i realized that the entire time i had been reading it to a melody...if you ever chose to, i believe you'd have a very good chance at a songwriting career + Report this comment
Posted by Pilgrim 2008-09-21 16:05:15 .... Good job. You put together great lines that flow with a lot of deep emotions. This is a good characteristic about your poetry; feeling the emotions. + Report this comment
Posted by lemon 2008-09-21 19:18:36 .... Another great one for you. This one was very pensive. Don't forget that we grow in life to be different than how we were, but its scary when we feel like we've lost ourselves completely and feel that we've completely detached from our former person. + Report this comment
Posted by Terry Collett 2008-09-22 13:39:02 .... You are certantly growing as a poet; stretching yourself, moving in deeper and dragging out pieces of yourself to light. A very good poem; enjoyed it. + Report this comment

Posted by resistanceisfreedom 2008-09-25 18:11:40 .... well to be honest...no, i'd rather not give you an explanation. i mean if you can't tell what this is about or what it's at least implying then i'm not going to waste the time to tell you. i just wish you would have stayed off this site...because so far every comment you have posted on my stories have been nonsense. + Report this comment
Posted by Ashutosh 2008-09-30 12:27:57 .... Good poem. Thought I wouldn't say I liked it as much as your other poems that I've read. The third stanza was exceptionally well done, according to me, and it pickedup pace from there. + Report this comment
