Sightless Ambitions

Jan 16, 2012 11:41 pm

i wanted to rip out my heart,

cut it out of my chest with my disgusting sinful hands,

and stab it to the ceiling,

let the blood drip from it, rain over my empty head,

absent of any thoughts of what to do,

void of all thoughts of any future with you anymore

i wanted to gouge out my eyes

and keep them from seeing anything ever again

If i can no longer see us together,

if i can't see you next to me, my hand in yours,

if i shall never see that again,

what is there left to look at?

what is there left to look forward to?

Author's Note

i use lower caps "i" on purpose, every line starts with a capital except if it starts with "i" or is part of the same sentence, hence the lack of capitalization. Sorry >.>

i really felt the imagery and your pain in the poem- i felt the first stanza was your strongest..i particularly liked the lines "cut it out of my chest with my disgusting sinful hands, and stab it to the ceiling" and "i wanted to gouge out my eyes and keep them from seeing anything ever again" those were definitely the best line wise
