Image for the poem Drained

Drained

My words were not heard
Nor were they read
But people will ask
For the reason I bled

From out of my wrist
A crimson liquid flows
And at my feet
A red puddle grows

I begged and pleaded
Nobody listened to me
So I suffered in silence
Suffered in misery

My so called friends
Have moved on in life
Leaving me behind
With a razor sharp knife

But maybe to them
I was just dead weight
Or maybe I was someone
They just grew to hate

I've lost so much
It's hard to explain
The emotional turmoil
And the endless pain

There's a guilt that haunts me
For my thoughtless crimes
And the hearts I've broken
So many times

My nerves are shot from
When my adrenaline surged
And a burning rage
My body couldn't purge

I'm slowly drowning
In a river of tears
Being held down
By nightmares and fears

I can't deal with this world
Or the lack of humanity
All the chaos in my life
Has pushed me to insanity

I can't live like this
I can't take anymore
This is why my blood
Is falling to the floor

It runs down my palm
Drips from my fingertips
Color drains from my face
And fades from my lips

The light is getting dim
I'm becoming short of breath
The only hand reaching for me
Is the hand of death

So I guess now
It's all said and done
Farewell, my family
Good-bye to everyone
