Kirsty Richards Poems

The blade shines through the darkness
Calling my name
Pretending to be a friend of mine
And I find that i can't resist
...

2.

They say there's no place like home, I believe that
But my home is not where last night I sat
My home is not where I keep my things
My home is not where my doorbell rings
...

Dying inside
I hide behind closed doors
It's a chore to even breathe
I dont believe
...

Engulfed by the vicious torment all around me
Tied by the chains of emotion that bound me
The darkness surrounds me and scorns me and mocks me
The shrieking of silence pushes and knocks me
...

I know it's not easy when life takes away
All the things that you've learned and the things that you know
To replace them with heartache and pain and sorrow
...

A generous soul
may go unnoticed
in the short time we
spend here on earth
...

Sitting by his bedside
I watched him lying broken
Whispering goodbye to my best friend
Given all his time away
...

I saw you today, down the road with your mate
Getting on with your life, oh yeh you look great
But all I can do is remember the hate
You're a monster, and deep down you know it!
...

I saw a lonely man today just sitting on the street
Ragged clothes, a dirty face, no shoes upon his feet
And as I knelt beside him he looked up and gave a smile
'You're the only one who's noticed in a long, long while'
...

I'm going to tell you a secret
With words that are honest and true
The time is approaching midnight
The date, unimportant to you
...

Every ounce of motivation taken from my soul
Every light and glimpse of hope now left dead and cold
I once had dreams and inspiration, those days long passed by
Now Im left with no solution other than goodbye
...

Dear lord
Through my fallen glory
Misguided adventures
And trouble-filled story
...

A passion grows and shrinks
An angel must have fears
Failure shows mistakes are made
And beauty lies deep within tears
...

14.

Weak
Isolated and obsolete
Forgotten, tortured, torn and beat
Nothing left
...

Tell me your story of when you first heard
That you had to leave, it was for your own good
How squeezing her hand, you begged not to go
And squeezing right back, she said 'Baby, I know'
...

16.

Why do you laugh
When you see the scars?
This isn't a game
It's the truth of my past
...

I'm learning
to slowly unearth
all the hurt
that you caused me
...

The Best Poem Of Kirsty Richards

Self Harm - The Blade

The blade shines through the darkness
Calling my name
Pretending to be a friend of mine
And I find that i can't resist
It seems so easy
Always being careful
Hiding the scars from the world
And never letting on how much it hurts
When people don't see what's in front of them
I'm invisible to them
And they don't know
How the blade punishes me
Telling me the blood will make it better
But it never does for long
It only makes things worse
Harder to deal with
Harder to keep going
Harder to fight
It's never the right thing to do
But still I find myself falling into the trap
Everytime it gets worse
Days and nights pass
The calling of the blade gets louder
Everywhere I go it's there
I pretend I don't care
Until I'm alone in my room
Then I can't pretend anymore
Not to myself, there's no point
And I reach for it
And it bleeds
And the impurities leave my body like a stream
And afterwards it's better
For a time
Until I remember that I'm alive
And now I've got more to hide
It's not better, nothings solved
The scars are worse
And I hate myself more than ever
And I'm still sinking and will be forever
And the blade just continues to call...

(This one's for Kirsty Richards) Here, in heaven's shadow, Our days are numbered few; It's time that keeps us captive Unless its death we choose - But giving up is not an option, Our hearts must persevere... As we protect the things we love And triumph over fear.
