    absinthe & arsenic with a side of blood

    close my eyes and clench my jaw
    if i bite down hard enough, maybe i can feel blood
    rushing into my mouth, between my teeth
    maybe enough pressure there can make me lightheaded
    a good long sleep can solve my insanity
    (death's a long enough sleep)
    i've become too lethargic for suicide.
    make me an absinthe and arsenic cocktail
    to sip and hallucinate, to swallow and sleep
    but don't bother trying to wake me.
    i don't want to wake up knowing
    that love, happiness, and salvation are only a dream.
    and that i'm living in a nightmare.

    plea-bargaining for bullets

    i've woken up in this manner before; suicidal and haunted.
    haunted by visions of you, ones no longer wanted
    no longer needed.
    i hate them so, i need a bullet to the brain
    to kill you, to bleed you out of my memories and heart.
    i remember an old friend of ours
    trying so hard to fix what is irreperable.
    they've given up (and so have i.)
    it couldn't last forever, you proved that to me.
    and i don't want a third chance at suicide.
    you could stab me with needles and knives
    and i'd refuse to bleed for you.
    i now have toxic burns and scars in every place you've kissed me.
    hurry with the bullets, my brain's bleeding.
    i have to pour it out or i'll drown in you again.
    drain the thoughts, the memories, the blood.
    it's so hard to start a new life
    but it's harder to end an old one
    (but it's oh so easy to pull a trigger)

    I've actually been on another website, running a graphics shop I run. I haven't been able to write alot lately, since it's mainly been confusion more than depression.

    But don't worry, I'll post some new ones soon!

    :)

    I fully agree. I didn't like the first one that much.

    I also agree but both were great. The only thing i didn't like were some sentances didn't seem to follow the mood of the poem, though they were completely rellevent, it's in the way they were written.
    This bit just seems out of place, i don't know how to explain it, mabye i'm just crazy, great work anyway. B)
