What Remains

by Sarah Boom

When everything's been going
...So wrong, for so long
And you just want to cut yourself
To bleed away the pain

When reality is
What your nightmares have never had the courage to show
You're so sick of feeling tired
So sick, of being alone

When everything's been getting rough
And we have to face it
Love will never be enough
For us to get through this

When the hardships are over powering
And never can we win
When wasted tears, and wasted time
And yet another wasted rhyme
Are the only beautiful things
That remain

When my dreams begin to fall apart
and once I start to crumble
Once I placed my life in your hands
And instead of grasping onto it
you fumbled

When all that remains
Is all of our pain
And even the most beautiful words
Can no longer save us from our own tragic lives

And that's when everything begins going
..So wrong, for so long
And you just start to cut yourself
To bleed away the pain

Often those early morning poems are best... I like the raw edginess of this....
