Cuts From The Soul
30 November, 2004
Author: Leah06
Cuts from broken glass
Shattered from my soul
Falling leaving trails of blood
Many of what was a whole.
Slashes of many depths
My body weeps with pain
Wounds flood red rivers
Spots the floor and stain.
Mind goes numb
Pupils dilate
Screams echo from within me
Made of anger and of hate.
They abused and used me
Sobs dragged me to the floor
Scaring me with hateful words
Leaving heart raw and sore.
Walking with my head down
Trapped in my own thoughts
Yet I’m still the moving target
As they aimed and took their shots.
They don’t see how I’m hurting
Though I’m quiet I’m filled with pain
They robbed me of my heart and soul
In darkness I drip red rain.

| Eric Miller (129.93.56.26) -- Monday, December 6 2004, 04:35 am Sometimes reading your poems I feel like your taking the words right from my mouth (Although I must admit I couldn't have pieced them together quite like you did). You are an amazing writer, and if you ever need to talk just let me know, because if this is how you feel I've been and right now am in the same place as you. |

| Monika (24.5.239.252) -- Saturday, January 8 2005, 08:04 am Leah, you're an awesome poet. All your work is great, and there was something about this one in particular that struck me. I especially like the last line "In darkness I drip red rain." I love it. |

| Devin (152.163.100.144) -- Thursday, April 19 2007, 12:10 pm Nice poem, it reminds me of the chorus to a house of krazees song "My insides are feeling like it's dead, nobody knows or understands the world is bloody red, armageddons getting closer every day as i weep, tears make me fall asleep, at times they speak to me" |
| Aj (68.109.92.62) -- Monday, April 23 2007, 06:10 am "In darkness I drip red rain.." Beautiful, in the most painfully understanding way. Simply beautiful. |
