Dust

The razor words cut sharp,
And i turned to dust. 
I don't have the strength to be a man tonight,
So i'll just lie here 
Piled high;
Lacking courage to even take a breath.
Distressed and broken,
My soul is like a tattered sweater;
These words pulled my frayed ends 
To pieces.
Truth cuts past the bone and marrow
To a place in my heart I didn't even know
Existed.
A place of frayed and tattered dust.

  2. Looks to need some sprinkles of fresh perspectives, sounds a rather dismal place. Dried and desolate.

  5. Such deep pain you describe here. I do hope it's only poetry and not real. Very nicely written!
