Bullet For Your Pain?

I slowly close my eyes

To block out all the memories that seem to never die

I don’t know how long this pain will last

But my present feels like my past

I cover my feelings with a laugh

But this pain is cutting me in half

I hold my breath

Until my awaited death

But still doesn’t put my mind at ease

Just infects it more like a disease

Every thought feels like a hallow dream

Twist and turns till it’s not what it seems

Bitter touch

Graceful clutch

It all feels the same

I cut deeper but it all goes in vain

I don’t know what I lack

But it always leads me to the back of the pack

With this I’m suppose to cope

Being paid with lies and selling away my hope

I know this pain I didn’t make

But hopefully this bullet will remove the ache

I like the idea of this piece very much.. it opens with darkness and intensity but allow me to make a few suggestions for improvement. Such as misuse of the word "hallow." It actually means "holy" and by what I read in the context of the surrounding verse, you most likely meant "hollow." Also changing the misspelled "suppose" to "supposed" would lend you more credibility to you as a writer.. and then something to think about: "I cut deeper but it all goes in vain.." it's not a very strong line but it COULD be.. I actually thought about a play on the idea of it being a cut and then talking about a vein since your title refers to taking a bullet for your pain.. all the more reason that a cut to the vein could be a viable precursor to that.. anyway, I hope these suggestions prove useful.

A suicide escape... so peaceful to the mind, but remorseful for this world who claims to love us. We try to run from it, but some how it keeps pace with us, and there's no where else left to run. We give up, and give in to the sweet temptation of a quick escape... ~Olivia McClain... now known as Lisette Wroth~
