It's on the tip of a dragons tongue
     The reason that we run
It's on the bottom of the grizzly bears paw
     The reason that we fall
It's the the sharks mouth full of razors sharp teeth
     The reason that we weep
It's in the belly of the beast
     This is where we sleep

Bleak eyes and sore throats,
Dark room and elevated pulse,
Several broken promises
Floating away on Aladdin's carpet.
Leaving the premises of my heart.
Burning bridges all around me
Consuming me and setting the world on fire.
They burn the city up like fireflies
Disappointments and expectations gone awry
Exhaustion and anger is what remains
Empty broken bottles line my kitchen floor
One stuck on the door won't let it close.
Sleeping is burning through me
Anxiety won't let me sleep
I cannot recover the harsh words
Said in anger and distraught
Adrenalin has its peaks and ditches
Mine is still roaming around scattered
Words I always wanted to say
are imprinted on their minds
And recorded in their ears
So are theirs on mine
I cannot forget them.
Mother always said going forward and regretting is always a waste and believe me I'm in no haste
Although in my darkest time I do regret
I can't take back my words
And I won't let them take back theirs

My face is grave and unchanging
Like that of a marble statue
You attack me with your words
You scrutinize my flaws
Your voice devours my identity and shreds it
Your distain at what I am claws at my insecurities
You call me pathetic, you try to get a rise out of me
But I staring straight forward
Eyes open, yet unseeing
Ears hearing, but not listening
You scream my name
Over
And over
And over
I appear to be shrouded in darkness
Unreachable
Distant
Frozen in time
At last the echoes of my name snag my attention
I turn to you and speak
Did you say something?

Repost if your attention span (like mine) is too short for anyone's words to hurt you because you weren't listening ;P
Please comment! I love to read interpretations of my poetry or your thoughts on my work or on poetry itself as an art! 

The way it falls like my tears for you
Each drop, so cold like your harsh words
I could dance forever in the rain,
But I’m done dancing for you
