Hallucinations

I painted you a picture today,

but in my head it will stay.

There's a clear, blue sky, fading to black

to hide the bodies in the back.

There's green, soft grass, stained with blood,

because running through me, it did no good.

You can see my feet, bare and dirty,

holding my crumbling body up sturdy.

My legs are cracked and bloodied as well,

there's been an incident, if you couldn't tell

By the hole in my chest, where my heart used to be-

It's now gone and can't torture me.

My arms are slit and cut to pieces,

because we both know I'm not as good as she is.

My fingers are gone, I've lost my grip.

They always did tell me one day it would slip...

My eyes and lips are closed by thread and pin

to keep inside the darkness within.

Now, my painting may seem a bit unsettling

But it's the only way to keep my mind from shattering.

sounds like a breakup caused these emotions. we always feel like the new girl is better but sometimes she's not. we shouldn't obsess about her or it will kill you. excellent poem.

Thank you! It actually had to do with a bunch of other people and my sister. About not being good enough, no matter what you do for someone. I'm glad you liked it :)

What a very well penned piece of work. Your choice of words are awesome, flows really good and I especially like your deep dark thoughts and way of writing. Experiences good or bad can release some killer writing just like this one.
