24
24 redlines across my arm
Safe from pain free from harm
Slowly it seeps out the pain
Let it drain, to keep me sane
12 drops of heaven on the closet floor
I find my weapon and lock the door
Sorry god, just one more slice
Make it deep. forget the price
6 seconds of internal screaming
Praying to the lord some one can hear me
Silence is now my only friend
No more waiting till I can dice again

Leaning against the metal cold door
Nailed shut
Bang, bang
In it goes
Each entry cracks the heart
Heals the
soul
Making the feet grow
Cold
Here I am
In front of the
Entrance
That used to make up my
Existence
No Turing back
Doorknob is
Useless
Loving you was meaningfully
Fruitless
No knocking on the other end
All is quiet
Finally Time to mend
Against
The door nailed shut

Cease the flame
Thicken ash of remorse left
voices go unanswered
The pleading though..
The pleading never stopped
Bewilderment of the present
Swallowing all distant thoughts
Rearranging there sequence
Rearranging  what begat
Death ignited the spark
and took of the bark
Darkened its roots
and left the child
With the purple stain feet
mute.
