Dead Thoughts
3 December, 2004
Author: Mike
I bleed myself to sleep at night,
The pain in my head blocking out the light.
The bed sheets stained red with blood,
The mattress soiled with a scarlet flood.
People walking on the streets below,
Oblivious to the torturous flow.
My head drops down and sleep comes fast
And I dream of pain, hoping it lasts.
But it doesn't, and morning comes.
I lay in bed while my blood still runs
Across my pale skin and onto the bed,
While my eyes stare blindly at the back of my head.
The sun shines brightly on my face
Highlighting the bluish tinge through the curtain lace.
I try but fail to open my eyes.
"I'm dead," I suddenly realise.

| Mike (82.35.77.233) -- Tuesday, March 22 2005, 08:52 pm I think Joyce Ivy was only trying to say that some people feel better when they feel 'dead' inside. When they shut themselves away from the rest of the world, which is what I do quite often. |
