Poem I wrote 1/15/08

Roses are red.
Violets bring tears.
Cuts that go deep.
Arms scarred; sears

Sugar is poison.
Sweetness is pain.
Blood becomes black.
Tear ducts stained.

Tangled in light.
Captive by love.
Freedom in night.
Escape in hate.

Cupid's arrow.
Love stabs me.
Stagger. Collapse.
A black sea.

Morbid laughter.
Still as death.
Last final chapter.
One last breath.
