Behind eyes that have only seen pain
Beyond a heart that was only meant to be broken
Between the thoughts of death and rebirth
Lies my body and mind

A mind that dances around the thought of suicide
Not knowing all that is already known

As my body lies lifeless on the floor
Not with me, yet not away from me
It turns gray with the sickness of my thoughts

Not living, not trusting
Being truly alone
Only to suffer from a pain so cold

Will this ever end?
Only time can tell
And even that thought itself is unbearable

I love it. This is seriously the way I feel. I like to write depressing poems, too.

Its beautiful, emotional, and somewhat depressing but its an amazing poem. I think the depressing ones are the best.
