CELLAR DOOR
Walk with me through the cellar door,
and the angels can wait outside.
If you feel the need,you can hold my hand,
even though,it's the touch of ice.
With no kind of comfort.
If I die in here
Drag me to the trees
Bury me there
3 feet beneath
draw a heart for me
make it hard for me to go
As if I tried
with everything,
to stay alive.
Follow me,deep within my sleep,
passed the safety of all that you know.
Ignore the screams,and the stares of men,
whom no longer,have control of their own.
Like chemical clones.
If I die down here
Drag me up the stairs
Bury me there
3 feet beneath
Draw a heart for me
make it hard for me to go
As if I tried with all my
might to stay alive.
I lost you completely,
as the depth overcame us both.
I'm sorry baby.
I lost you completely,
as if death only came for us.
Forgive me please.
I lost you forever...
In the darkness...
Of the cellar...
and the angels can wait outside.
If you feel the need,you can hold my hand,
even though,it's the touch of ice.
With no kind of comfort.
If I die in here
Drag me to the trees
Bury me there
3 feet beneath
draw a heart for me
make it hard for me to go
As if I tried
with everything,
to stay alive.
Follow me,deep within my sleep,
passed the safety of all that you know.
Ignore the screams,and the stares of men,
whom no longer,have control of their own.
Like chemical clones.
If I die down here
Drag me up the stairs
Bury me there
3 feet beneath
Draw a heart for me
make it hard for me to go
As if I tried with all my
might to stay alive.
I lost you completely,
as the depth overcame us both.
I'm sorry baby.
I lost you completely,
as if death only came for us.
Forgive me please.
I lost you forever...
In the darkness...
Of the cellar...

Dark, deep and dense. You know how to pass your black thoughts to your readers. Love it.

Compelling....Intense....Dark in a desperate and sooo sorrowful, vividly descriptive manner.
When i read this poem, it feels as if the cellar almost becomes a metaphor for black depths of the poet's soul where helplessness and utter despair seem to be in control...almost to the point that even death(perhaps, by suicide)could become the possibility.
Yet the repetition of the lines regarding the poet's burial--second and fourth stanzas--speak to a desperate plea for his love to realize that despair and depression had taken over..that in the depths of all the blackness, the vitality for life was lost, yet he had struggled so hard to overcome them. "...Draw a heart for me/Make it hard for me to go/As if I tried with all my/might to stay alive...."(Please understand and show some compassion for me...coping with all the pain of life just became tooo difficult for me ...)
This piece is so haunting...chilling...running its icy fingers along my spine...touching my very soul and leaving imprints of sadness.
While I find this to be deliciously dark read, I would just as soon n o t open this 'CELLAR DOOR '.....(ummmm, if you don't mind!)
Well written! Thank you for the nightmares! Added to my reading list!
