Contamination

Take my heart and break in two

the walls I built to protect you.

Take my brain and set me free

from the hiding place for only me.

All I want is to repent

and throw away the memories spent.

They leave me simply discontent,

so speak to me from far distant.

All that I feel is a poison

and a disease. Let the noise in.

When the world feels insubstantial,

I have nothing. No example.

Will you hold me under the rain

or let me drown in my pain?

Look at me and please convince me

that I am not what I can see.

When all I feel are broken hearts,

my body's split to many parts.

But nobody has ever known

the broken wall and broken bone.

So look into my eyes and say

that you will stay away today.

All that I feel is a poison

and a disease. Let the noise in.

While the world is full of that hate,

Am I ever walking that straight?

If I stand up and captivate,

I will shock you. Contaminate.

Beneath your bed,

I'm lying dead.

The world is dark.

We need a spark.

Inside my head,

the fire spreads.

But all I see

is blackened seas.

All that I feel

is a poison.

You can't resist.
Let the noise in.

Will it choose you?

Then we lose you.

Come enjoy it.

Can't destroy it.

Come and taste it. 

It's the poison.

And it's screaming.

"LET THE NOISE IN."

This line just packed that punch that makes you sit there and feel as though the wind has been stolen from your lungs. There are two views to love: Love is not pain, and love is pain. Neither side is wrong really. Most people think love only goes one way, but this isn't always the case. Sometimes loving a person alone can poison you. I hate to go with the clique example of this couple, but the Joker and Harley Quinn. In all reality, although the relationship was abusive that does not mean there was love missing. It's just Harley was more so on the giving end. She kept trying to give love to a man who only harmed and used her. Most look at Joker as protective of his girl, in which he was. But he was more- so protective of her, because in his sadist ways that was his property. That was his toy to take pleasure and pain in. Even in an abusive relationship there are soft, sweet, and loving moments. That is why some relationships go on like that for years. It is like a mental mind game with the couple. You make them feel loved and cherished, and when it happens that violence occurs, or harsh things are spoken to mentally tear someone down it's not their fault or they didn't mean to. It becomes so destructive most never consider Stockholmns Syndrome.
Towards the end.... I have nothing. No example.

david, This piece is so solid on so many levels, a mournful plaintive questioning of all thoughts and feelings that abound within you. One like struck me like a sucker punch: "Will you hold me under the rain...?" So much emotion, such a feeling forward into your dwindling hope, 'will you help me?'
Beautifully done; like many of your others your willingness to bare your soul in your writes embodies the life contained within, ticking...ticking. Great job, sir! take care...dan
