Old Poem

This is a poem that was written as an assignment for english class in the 11th grade.
I'm pretty sure the instructions were to do it "Emily Dickenson" style. Whatever that's actually supposed to mean. Anyway, I think I made mine a little darker than needed, but I think I was venting alot of pent up emotions. I guess I'm a little fucked up. Whatever, I deal.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cutting cold- each tiny slice
looks deeper with the knife you bore inside me.
You're so sure- the broken pieces surrounding-
the sick remains of something once worth while.


Shallow breath echoes in the forgotten
chamber of your heart- captivated and
suffocated- once warmed hands reaching for
a place in another- find your sorry soul.


Sad- sick and sad- like angels robbed of wings.
I attempt to fly from this bind
you have on me- frozen in place and
brutally blinded- you never showed me real light.


Released- given wretched freedom to wander-
denied the chance of true love- I am choked
by you- each gift I gave shoved back
within me- I find no more room to give.


Through parched lips- a parched heart,
I beg you- you who abandoned me-
to come close maybe- ever so soft-
like new child and find your place- with me.
