Poetry: Hurting

Losing

I'm breathing hard

my chest is heavy

my face is bruised

from all the blows I'm receiving

I'm on my knees

trying to crawl away

I'm not sure if

i can make it one more day

as I'm down here

my hand slips

the blood is pooling

bright red, dripping from my lips

my mouth forms

trying to scream out loud

but nothing comes out

there is no sound

no matter how much

i keep up this fight

its getting darker in here

soon i wont see any light

the dark, so comforting

pulling me in

i cannot pull free

faces are flashing, memories

crowding me, taking over my mind

I'm wondering

is this the peace i so wanted to find?

all my sins

and every single lie

i can remember

as i let out this last sigh

i feel so sorry

for everything Ive done

cant believe i did it all

just for one night of fun

    With tears flowing down my face
    They were warm to the touch
    But the warmth was not comforting

    Hurt Lives

    Hurt lives
    inside the darkest places
    where lives are torn
    hearts are tattered
    like dirty worn jeans

    Hurt lives
