Bled Ingot

A Poem by Phillip J Clayton

No heart to love 

remove the other too

words painted on the walls

echoing truth.

Feeling hollow...

Promises were made to fools, 

if only I had known...

Maybe I'm afraid of you

Stick the needle in.

Heavy...

May I excuse myself,

I'm used to being alone

I laugh at myself,

I have created my own cell.

I'm beside myself,

ignoring the haunted memories.

Standing on an overpass...  

I threw you away here once.

Death come quickly...

On a rose cross I remain, 

blood spilled I will take my shame. 

Take this out of me, make me numb.

Love  is short...

Oh my God what have you done...

Stick a needle in, so you can have fun.

Oh my God what have you done...

These veins are dead.

In my hell, I made for myself,

heaven cried for me,

the angels died for me,

the sadest I've ever been.

Ruptured...

get born again,

relive the suffering,

the end that never came,

Love is my blame,

I am filled with hate.

Watch her walk away,

death creeping in,

I'm alone again.

All secrets known...
