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 so rare to find good poetry that's emotional like this on DA.
very nice job, it struck a chord.

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