Nothing Left

My heart bleeds
All the way through you like
Spilled ink on paper.

My mind sifts through
Endless memories,
Like searching the sand
For oasis. There is no salvation.

My eyes plead for rest, but
Where I come from, dreaming
Means death. Dreaming means
The end. I can't let myself go. I promised.

My hands shove you to the
Ground and my mouth kisses your
Agony. The fire has come for me,
So I let it have you instead.

My hands hold a dozen roses
But my veins spill out from
The thorns. My kingdom awaits,
But I get there and it crumbles to the ground.

My days turn to nights and my
Light fades. There is no going
Back after this. I want to go,
But staying is the only way to survive.

My poisonous smile killed
The innocent, and my life is still
Only a prison. I'm caged inside.
There is no joy when there's nothing to hide.

I was ruined by those who
Created me. They tried to shelter
Me and give me peace. I spat
In their faces and laughed. The evil child I am.

When the only way left to go is
Down, and you're falling, you
Curse gravity and blame those that
Didn't even push you. You jumped.

You asked for this; begged even. You
Wanted the end when you knew it
Wasn't coming. There is no end to
Something so miserable as this.
