Protecting…
Who?
I can’t remember.
All I know is
I can’t afford to leave.
I want to stay.
Falling,
I think?
There’s a light.
No, not a light.
I think it’s…
but it can’t be
my center of being.
Not this mangled heap.
This is all wrong.
What has happened?
I was once whole.
Before, it resembled
a perfect tear-drop, crystalline and pure.
It held everything I stood for
my love.
my joy.
Now what lies before me
is a sick perversion
of what I once was.
of what I am.
At least, I think?
This gnarled heap
all twisted, knotted, and broken,
can’t be what I now am.
This should not be.
I have to
make this right again.
But how?
Can it even be fixed?
Can I do this alone?
Who would want to help me?
I’ve hurt the one who could help me.
They wouldn’t want to help.
Not after what I did.
I can do this.
I need to do this.
Who am I trying to fool?
I can do nothing but
hurt those who love me.
betray myself.
ruin all that I love.
What’s the point?
This can’t save anyone.
Not even myself.
Returning
just returning.
I’ve come back to
my personal hell.
my deserved abandonment.
She approaches me,
I can’t help it.
I have to know
the depth of my betrayal.
How can she stand
my presence?
She approaches and stops.
Staring.
She tears up,
I hesitate.
She leans into my shoulder,
weighing down
my body and soul.
She lets loose.
Cascading
tears,
dreams,
confusion.
I drink it in,
take it all on my shoulders.
Add it to my confusion.
I will make it my new burden.
Will you give it to me?
I will make you better.
Allow me this shame,
for all those you denied me before.
Allow me to
steal your pain.
Allow me to
correct my mistakes.
- Title: Correction
- Artist: Blaesse
- Description: I wrote this after I ruined something that I was very dear to. It started ALOT longer, but after given a challenge by one of my teachers/friend I cut it down considerably, and this is what I got. I hope you like it.

- It's pretty good. Maybe could use a bit of editing. 3/5 for now, but I think it could be a 5/5 with a bit of work.....anyway, Rate back? My best entry is called "Unspoken Message" and I recently submitted "Lost in the World"
