Explanations for the Lost
Blood stains my past,
Marks of guilt and relief.
Some are old, many are new,
This is what I believe.
It is wrong to do so,
It is necassary to maintain in control.
It hurts, but it’s a pain of comfort,
Taking back the feelings it once stole.
Lost to the darkness that hides the hurt,
Engulfed by this void that blocks all light.
The knife reflects only a small glimmer of hope,
But it’s a ray of pure bliss and blight.
Eating away at my skinn and sanity,
I keep reaching for the disease that won’t heal.
I need it, I hate it, I crave it,
That is the way it makes me feel.

A way to explain what it feels like. Or, what I think when no feelings are present. Writing is the only way to illustrate how my mind works.

Sharing in the rawness and searching in dark hours of empty feelings for that which is holding me back or blinding me.
