Cut
Don't go to sleep, I'd like to talk a while
about the nightmares I'm about to have.
All the people dead inside their cars
Making love to violets and skies stand still.
The world stands with my head against your lap
And your fingers laces through my hair.
You reek of cigarettes and angel's breath
As you drag down the cancer between your lips.
I stopped hating myself today
For the picture on the cover of my mind was always you.
I'll never drag the pain along my skin
No more razors, no more bullets in my veins.
Wings beat in akward rhythms like poison hearts
Lyrics tattooed across our bullet wounds.
The romance in my veins flavored like lead
Butterflies sliping through the slits in my wrists.
You own the world, you make it perfect for me,
Wrap it up in cherry colored bows.
The same color let when I stab myself
Or lips that kiss a vibrant shade of blood.
Your eyes, a burst of dying stars,
Look down over the broken glass on the floor.
Try to fix it, this shattered heart
with words that still bring tears to my eyes.
breath down my neck as I stutter
Kisses tainted with sugar and distress.
I scratch at scars in hopes to hide them
I only want to be something more to you.
I'll never drag the pain along my skin.
No more razors, no more bullets in my veins.
Re: Cut (a decent poem)

I liked those two lines :wink:
Good....i personally think the opening lines "Don't go to sleep, I'd like to talk a while
about the nightmares I'm about to have." are very powerful. I liked them alot....it was those lines that keept me reading....the first lines of a poem are so important- and you nailed 'em.....made me want to read your poem....and the last lines: "I'll never drag the pain along my skin.
No more razors, no more bullets in my veins." made me glad i kept reading. As with opening lines....the closing lines are SO important. Great Job
