The release of blood,
the relief in my brain.

misunderstandings
emma Aug 2013
I don't understand what you mean to me.
Is it friendship?
Is it lust?
You're gone now and I still don't understand.
Was it friendship?
Was it lust?

You
emma Aug 2013
You
I shouldn't have just relapsed over
You.
I shouldn't be on the brink of suicide because of
You.

Dead Sea
emma Aug 2013
There are hundreds of reasons the oceans could dry up.
But what about the oceans in your eyes?
The ones that would fill every night over
him
and
self pity.
What happens when they dry up?
All of my oceans are gone.
I am a dried up sea of no emotion.
emma Aug 2013
I have to keep reminding myself that relapse is a part of recovery.
But what's recovery even worth when all you think about is
slicing your wrists
and
bleeding out your problems.

A bottle of *****.
That's all it takes to let out bottled feelings.

Drunk

My eyes are droopy
My tongue is swollen
My throat is burning
My heart hurts

Suffer v Strength
emma Aug 2013
I don't want to find out the hard way just how strong I am.
I don't want to suffer anymore to find my strengths.

Time
emma Aug 2013
They say time heals everything, I think that's *******.
It's been seven ******* years and I've still never quite recovered from it.

Sober
emma Aug 2013
I can drink a 40 and let every single secret pour out.
I can cough out smoke and cough out feelings.
But I can't stay sober and say a single thing to anyone.

Abuse
emma Aug 2013
They don't tell you how to cope with things.
No one does.
They warn about it.
They say that things like this happen.
They say you should tell someone.
No one does.
You can't tell someone.
You can't tell anyone.
You sit with this in your mind.
Forever.
You sit and fear everything.
You sit hoping to not be touched in that spot.
Because oh my god, that spot.
That spot it enough to cause more silence.
That spot makes you cringe.
It makes you close your eyes.
And that spot brings back all the memories.
The memories you couldn't speak about.
The memories you weren't taught to cope with.
You can't cope with anything.

Only 15
emma Aug 2013
You shouldn't be so young,
and so close to death.
You shouldn't be so young,
and dealing with these problems.
You shouldn't be so young,
and battle scars from the war inside your head.

Screams

Not even the blast of music,
Can deafen the voices screaming.

everyday
emma Aug 2013
I think I've come to a point in my life
where I don't even cut as a coping method anymore,
it just sort of happens.
Pretty pathetic when cutting has become routine.

bullshit
emma Aug 2013
They say the third times a charm.
I don't believe it.
Because when I wanted to die for the third time,
I failed.
The pills have failed me again, so did you.

Hiding your feelings doesn't make you
timid
shy
or any less worthy of him.

Blood

Slice my thigh and
carve "I love you" into my wrist.

Something missing
emma Aug 2013
It feels like I'm missing out.
Everything interesting is happening somewhere else.
I want to reach out from this slump,
I want to feel again.
I don't want to miss out anymore.

I'm not sure what I'd do without you.
I've gotten so used to your
voice
and
laughter
that I don't think I could ever remember
anything other than you.
So really, what would I do without you?

Self Hate
emma Jul 2013
The residue of ***** lined the empty bottle.
A deep inhale of smoke,
an exhale of problems.

Lightheaded I fumble,
clasping a cold lifeless piece of metal.
I cried "save me"
release all my demons.

I am safe for now,
drowning in a sea of crimson security.

I took some pills mumbling "I love you."
I wish I wouldn't have woken that morning,
because if the last words that came out of my mouth were for you,
then I would have gone happily.

"Purge me."
"Too much."
"Guilt. Guilt. Guilt."
"Too much."
"Purge me."

I wish I had something interesting to write about,
but all there's left of me is
old scars
&
empty bottles
