Walk The Line

[Deknor]

Silent are my sobs, as I lay on the floor.
The blade in my hand; my eyes on the door.
I hold the blade near my heart, the skin rips.
Red appears, following the stiletto's tip.

Eyes widen; the photo in sight.
To put down the blade, takes all my might.
Eruption of tears caused by heartbreak.
Feelings of death soon overtake.

Now I stand; looking down upon edge.
Grasping, pulling the hair out of my head.
A vow I had made, to love her always.
But why has her heart gone astray.

Death beckons, I hear him call.
I close my eyes and begin to fall.
Upon impact, with my certain doom.
I wake up, in my bed, in my room.

I sob as I turn up the light.
I look to the ground, I see the knife.
I stare at my chest, across my heart.
I see where the flesh was ripped apart.

How long can I wait,
before I've waited too long?
Countless nights I have cried,
trying to figure out what went wrong.

There is one person in this heart of mine.
Though my soul is broken down inside.
It's clear my love for you still resides.
"Because your mine, I walk the line"

I understood it from the bottom of my own heart but the "cut out my heart" kind of love is kind of getting old.What I mean is,it was stated out too loud.It would have been better if it said something else,that said the exact same thing.But it was good.

Keep writing,for my sake if not for your own.

I really like the rhyme scheme. It's really good. As MTV-Head stated, you should write that "cut out my heart" part and rephrase. It did sound a little plain. Nevertheless, great poem.

There's a time and place for writing poems about killing or mutilating yourself. It's called myspace.
As for the non-emo population, once we've seen one poem about it, we've seen 'em all.
