Tie me off

if you read it, please let me know what you thought about it. thank you

Got a little baggie

hiding in my closet

got a little nagging

deep inside my head

got a little urge

to be what scares me

Dont know how much longer

I can keep it hidden away

tucked behind these skeletons

somewhere in the dark

im drowning in my secrets

This used to be an if

now I think its only when

Tie me off

let me feel

every bit of soul 

I steal

away 

from me

see I think that I can heal

if I can feel

these wounds rip through me

Got a little secret

hiding in my brain

got a little demon

deep inside my head

everything ive ever truly wanted

is enough to make me sick

Dont know how much longer

I can hide it all away

it slips out in each cut I make

and all the letters i never send

in little bits of conversation that you never catch

This used to be an if

but now I know its only when

Tie me off

let me feel

every bit of soul 

I steal

away 

from me

see I think that I can heal

if I could feel

your wounds rip through me

[Pax Analog]

Indeed, it's song-like.

Reminds me of Iggy Pop's lyric: "America takes drugs in psychic defense."

"Tie me off/let me feel/every bit of soul/I steal/away/from me/see I think that I can heal/if I could feel/your wounds rip through me"

Those closing lines are darkly thrilling and induce heart-aching empathy.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Regrets only come from not trying, for if you fail you at least know... when it comes to love it is always worth the risk... I really like how you expressed it here... at least if I interpreted it right.

[Norma M Sutton]

Sounds like the makings of a song.

[Wolfwind Words]

This seems to be written in the format of a song. It's imagery is surreal, taking us into a world of what looks like past drug use, and emotional pain. I got the impression that the overall piece is about needing to feel anothers pain in order to cease your own.

Powerful Ink!
