Jar of Poison

My heart beats loud
Now that the music has stopped
Silence blares in my ear drums
I feel that they will burst
My sleep deprived lids cry out for rest
But rest does not come
I feel like I am drowning in a pool of dreams
These dreams are unpleasant
I am haunted by fears
And of loneliness
And of silence
I can feel my body convulse ever so slightly
I inhale
Following that breath with exhalation
I cannot deprive myself of life
I fumble around in my own mind for some twisted memory
I drink to the thought of delight
And I empty my jar of poison

    this is very very sad. But it is also very good. I havn't read your stuff for a awhile, sorry, But you have improved, which is saying somthing because you were good before. But how very sad. I think I'll start reading your stuff more often now, I havn't read sad poetry for a while, and itreally is beatiful in a morbid way.
