Torn

A Poem by sheila.j

This is it gone, done, and over

what's left is used to cover

these dirty sins and dreams

torn apart at the seams

Yanked the heart strings right out

giving no sympathy to the shout

of a soul leaving the body

young but not completely unready

so take your shaking hands

stick them in the blades of a fan

enjoy the feeling of ripping apart

fear the smile you had from the start

no one lives to see the day

when they all walk astray

what's living if you've died

since the first breath you cried

but burry your head in the sand

blindly look for a helping hand

one that will slap you the next moment

scorned if you don't smile at the torment

don't tell me about a full life

when someday you'll be holding this knife

I can tell this came from your heart.
It is haunting and holds a lot of mystique.

It created pictures of anguish and pain in my mind
Also of revenge, and a sense of rising up from the ashes.

I love the way the words flow together,
creating an unexpected feeling.

This is a gripping and dramatic, yet beautiful poem.

I can relate to this some what...sometimes when we feel sad or hurt wild thoughts and feelings come to us, sometimes even causing us wanting to hurt ourselves or something around us. That's what I got from reading this anyway.
