Send Me

I need a way to escape,1

From this tainted life,2

Of lying masquerades,3

And broken dolls.4

A way to free my mind,5

From this prison he layed down for me,6

Of rules and walls,7

Such boundaries are lost on you,8

And there's no hope for me.9

Lost in this world,10

Of mirrors and broken dolls,11

Not believing any of these false things,12

As I am tossed aside, defective,13

And you rise up, only to fall down.14

I turn and walk away,15

Only to be dragged down once more,16

Transfixed with such morose beauty,17

It's becoming so hard to say no,18

Never thought it would be so rough,19

But now my heart feels the betrayal.20

Today I've cut it out,21

Right from my chest, 22

Looking in your eyes, I see that you are torn,23

But I am done with this and all of you,24

The world is too much for my soul to take,25

Please, send me away,26

So that I may finally find,27

What I've been looking for;28

Peace in oblivion.29

I will only ask this of you,30

Because you are the one who injured my heart,31

And only you are meant to save it,32

The only way to save it,33

Is by tearing it out!34

I don't want to feel,35

Anything anymore,36

Please just let this be real,37

Let the death of which I dream,38

Become what holds me tight. 39

Author notes

This is how I have been feeling lately, today and always. Comments are appreciated. I wrote this out of nowhere. I guess it's just... What's inside the place where my heart should be. I don't know...

    Oh, wow...just, wow. This was a very strong, very deep poem. I love how the words just catch you off guard and create such a depressing and dark mood. This was amazingly written, and I wish you best of luck on the finalist's page.

    Many thanks for entering my contest!

      Thanks! I worked really hard on this one. I was going through a rough time in my life. But then, when am I not? lol Every poem I write tends to come off as depressing and dark, no matter how hard I try not to, it turns into that. Thanks you so much for commenting!
