Collection Of Poems: Feelings and Fears

Vices & Hatred

I'm burning to death
And drowning in blood

Bitter poison passes my lips
Scorching my throat all the way down

As long as I still feel
As long as it burns
I shall live

Kissing Death by the teeth
Inhaling every breath
Holding the smoke down
As I continue to burn

As long as I still feel
As long as it hurts
I will live

I live in tantalizing agony
An addictive lust for self destruction
Beckons me forward
As chains hold me in its grasp

I can't stop.
I can't pull away from the gravity
I can't get away
There's no escape.

Not from bitterness
Not from burning
Not from seclusion
Not from hatred
Not from addiction
Not from myself.

One little taste is all it takes
To have me coming back for more
Desperate to feel reprieve
To escape from reality

As long as I still feel
As long as I ache
I can live

Craving and caving in
No control
I feel it slipping away
Little by little

Piece by piece
I cannot keep it together
It falls through my hands
With no way to hold on
No way to stay fast.

I'm burning alive
I'm choking on blood

I can't breathe
I can't see
I can't hear
I can't feel
I can't smell
I can't taste
I can't hurt

Numb inside.
Is this what death is really like?
