Emotional Suicide

Emotional Suicide

A Poem by Ed Piers

Head filled with memories
From undying vessel of emotions
Thoughts spring out
Surrounded by the aching voice

The spotlights of shattered soul
In the room filled with broken dreams
Dreams that were once bright
Full of hope and bliss
A source of motivation and drive
Now lay on the ground
Far from its former glory

Body that seeks strength
Soul that seeks immortality
Voice that gives up the truth
The truth that lies
Beyond those papers
Lifted up like dreams
Dark as shadow in an endless night

For once it seemed so true
Easy to grasp with a simple mind
Haven't been looking beyond its surface
Been blinded by the light it shines
Been felt to be soaring in the sky
Been thought to be on the zenith

Never looked down
Never looked inside
Never touched its surface
Never thought of anything else

In the abyss of drunkenness
The one who gives speech
Is the one who's easily taken away

Until everything dropped
Everything back to its places
The place I once been
The thing I once believed
The dreams I once pursued
The life I once held dear

I woke up thinking one day
I would stop dreaming
Never thought it would kill me
It would kill me so bitterly
I never said that I never lied
but I never said everything was a lie

So it is you who would ask
The farther this would go
The further you can't bear
Those truths may seem true
But the truth is a lie
And lies are true

Just cut the thread and take this heart
So I won't feel any pain
Keep me insensitive
Keep me heartless
Keep me away from tears
Keep me from happiness
Keep me from any emotion

Thinking that I would fall in love
Gives me shiver
Gives me sting
Gives me the unforgettable feeling
Of being hurt
Of being alone
Of being so insecure

So I bury my heart in my memories
And hope it rest in peace
