Red Silk Noose
Scars on my wrists
Blood red silk
Decorate my skin
Replace the pain
From within
Blood lust pain
Now meets the skin
Relief
From the brokenness inside
From the thoughts of you
Never enough
Always failing
Never winning
From the hopelessness inside
That kills a piece of me
Daily
Blood stained carpet
Soft white floor
Speckled red, white and blue
I’m slowing dying
But you could never tell
All you would see
A girl with a plastic smile
Eyes of brown and skin so fair
Longing to be like them
Longing to fit in
Find my place among the flawless
Red lipped lies
And soft silk noose
Wrap your way around me
Suffocation for the lost
Let me hang among the living
Dead inside but beautifully broken
Waiting for someone to cut me down
Throw me inside the tomb
Once and for all
Leave me to return
To the dust from which I came
And fade into my immortal soul

Wow, the way you made the whole poem to come back to the red silk noose is wonderful. This poem has some good imagry as well, which makes up the best of poems. I think that seperating this into stanzas could make it a lot easier to read and make it flow brtter. So, I have a habit of Nit-Pinking through poems, but worry not, I point out good and bad.
Well, thats about all I have to say.
Hope this helps,

I love this, and it really does draw the attention of a reader.
Not only the title, but the entire poem, and that is something that I love.
I don't think I can really say too much because I'm still reading and re-reading it.
It's original and emotive, and do not get me started on the imagery. I could almost see the blood dripping onto the carpet.
This is really amazing, you have a talent that's for sure.
