even NJ loves NY
she sleeps it off
alone and untouched
don't disturb the private crisis
close the door, walk away

the world has shut her out
she turns off the sound, voids the colour
in her pretty dreams, she bleeds for it
but then the desire swallows her whole

she awakens in the dark with no one to see
shaking and cold, her ghostly hand reaches
beneath it all
hope dances a spiraling death

with nothing left but plastic horror
the soft veil tames her eyes
the needle fills her emptiness with poison
she steals shallow pleasure, succumbing to the life of her veins

when it's all over she cleans the mess
as best her broken heart can
she's so deep into love
she feels as though she's never known it

alone, she knows she's alone
she longs only to cease the endless beat
icy steel and a shattering blast
she flees to leave the emptiness with them

the sorrow of love indescribable
as all the words twist themselves away into stillness

Wow.. you obviously put a lot of thought and feeling into this. While reading this poem, I was reminded of my half-sister who has probably (and unfortunately) felt something like this many times.

..very eloquent ..and disturbing.

as I read the word I couldn't help but think of Bad and Running to Stand Still

when it's all over she cleans the mess
as best her broken heart can
she's so deep into love
she feels as though she's never known it

alone, she knows she's alone
she longs only to cease the endless beat

it makes me think of:

"i'm only asking but i...
i think you know"

simly beautiful, i think i have felt like that girl in some very recent times; thank you for sharing...
 
I'm sorry travu2 and Bacchus...please don't ever be like that because people are so much stronger than they think they are...nothing is unbeatable

yes, it is kinda like Bad and Running To Stand Still
sad poem about a girl who lost a battle with drugs and depression

ugh I'm sorry I'm in such a crappy mood...I'll go to bed now and wake up better tomorrow I hope
