I push you down,
down and away;
Tell myself
that you are nothing
and your apathy
is of no consequence.

I enter this coma
that is so familiar;
Here I shut down,
leave all emotion behind
as I enter the only place
I have ever felt safe
in my catatonic state.

The sprawling emptiness
that is inside of me
becomes tangible
as I explore it,
touching its smooth walls
with my bloodied hands.

It is a cage,
a prison -
A home;
Nobody can harm me
in my fortress of
bitterness and mistrust.

I will push you down,
down and away;
Forget the lies,
the betrayals,
the unanswered cries
for help and love.

You could never love me
as I could never
love myself.
Now I push us down,
down,
and away

Into oblivion.

it's nice to see people sharing poetry like this!
it's so rare to find good poetry that's emotional like this on DA.
very nice job, it struck a chord. :heart:

Thank you. I'm glad you liked this. I only wrote it this evening, perhaps that's who it's so emotional. =p

Yeah, it's beautifully done.

But I'd think the opposite, there's tons of emotional poetry on DA, and people overdo it frequently. :B

Yeah, I know what you mean. There's a difference between melancholic undertones and just plain BAWWWing.
