Random Ramblings: Warm-Up

This is literally a warm-up, as it's been a long time since I've been able to sit down and write. This doesn't pertain to life at all, it just puts me in the mood. Calm yourselves, I'm not crazy.

Sitting down crying,
Wondering if I can even do this
Am I even strong enough to endure this?
Am I capable of coping with not one, but more?
More sins of yours seeping up through my floor?
I don't even remember what purity looks like
Much less what it feels like

I tried escaping, once long ago
I took half a bottle, and bled to add to it
I remember the look on my companion's face
When he saw my arm as we laid in bed
I remember the way my mother looked at me
It was a pathetic pity, only adding to my hopelessness
I remember the way I looked at myself in the mirror
Disgusted, outraged

I still think of simpler days
When I had a moment of silence
And wrote a poem a second
I had so much potential
And I wasted it on you
On your broken promises
On all your lies
Your eyes told me the truth, if I'd only looked
I was too in love, too willing to die
For a man who would kill me to live
