burning bridges

05/2012

How I revel in the darkness

that has consumed and is

destroying me. The sound

of dirt hitting my closed

casket is like unto a

long awaited concert.

Thud Thud Thud

When you live to die,

time is such a nasty thing.

Dragging by as the sun

burns lines in my skin.

Day after day after dreaded

day. I never wanted this life.

Take it back. Put it into 

someone who actually 

might give a damn. Someone 

who may take it and use it on

a better purpose for I have

burned all my bridges.

I have laid in waste for so

long that the buzzards 

circle overhead while I

bleed out steadily yet slowly. 

Understand that the brave die 

and walk the same.

Sweetness= that totally rocked.I knew I would read a great thing from you. Anyways I loved the flow with this as everything came pouring out I could not stop reading. I really favored the ending "understand the brave die and walk the same." Everywhere we go we cross a bridge leading us to another but, eventually it feels all the bridges are gone and closed.Lleaving us alone with death shadowing us behind. Well done.

Chilling Joshua, but brilliant.

This poem made me sad. If you die before your time that's just going to be devastating to all the people that love them. You need to live for those people because they need you. It was a powerful piece and it was an enjoyable read. But don't get yourself killed. Thanks for sharing.
