Emmie/Emmellia Untitled Poem #12

Death comes

slow

creeping close

black bleeds

red

through time

voices call

screaming

searing

pushing

get away

shrieks

bound wrists

blades removed

time taken

hurt self

why

all the same

questions

again

again

again

go away

never hear

never listen

left to bleed…..

leave me

heed me

desolate

languish

grey soulled

fuck you

make it all better

promised lies

like all the others

get away

abandon me…..

huddled

pain

gasped fear

only one

leaving

turn

too late

shade gone

reverberating howl

beating flesh

plunge needle in

finally…..

let her rest.

1st time I have attempted work to accompany my poetry

Endless Time

Hard

no explanation

no words

encompass

emotions fled

tears fall

voiceless

mouth moves

no one

never anyone

hears

caught up

caught behind

false life

pretending glories

mirrored falsities

one upon another

building

lives further

further from truth

further from sanity

further from…..

Sad

very 

very 

sad.

Wrapped

wet linens of melancholy

trapped

burgeoning fears

standing on the lip

bizarre mirage

flickering in the future

never

to be found…..

oasis lost.

Sad

truly

truly 

sad.

Wade the depths

sink slowly

beneath

blue waves

float

graceless

eyes wide

tears gather

stars wonder

last breath

time to say good bye

for this sad

it has climbed within

unable to find succor

I want it all to end.
