The Scratching Post Diaries
My Poetry

My creative side...

I lay against the angels throne
it carved fom smooth alabaster stone
my love for him i would have never known
if i had just never looked to him

Refuge i find in his silken wings
Comfert in his arms
even though i feel his pain
he'd never bring me harm

Why do i feel the need to cry
i know tears will never come
but the locked up tenderness i keep inside
beat my insides like a drum

I want you here, i want you now
why are you so far away
love isnt meant to hurt this bad
atleast thats what the couples say....

Come out of your hiding, roll up your sleaves
Show your bruises, and the scars
Dont be afraid anymore
Dont look down when they call your name, or touch your arm
Walk out of that door
They cant hurt you anymore
Dont be afraid anymore
Scars are memorys of the past
but thats just what they are
Walk in the future, and lay in its warm glow
you have something to make of yourself
dont be afraid
He wont leave you now
all by yourself
He is your safety rope, and he has your hand
You cant feel it now, but he is there
Crying helps to let it out
the beatings, the words, the neglect
Dont be afraid anymore
You are strong now, you can hold your head up
You arent by yourself
Your Angel is there
You'll never be afraid
Not anymore
..Lord dont you leave me, all by myself..
when I lay there bleeding, blood in my hair,....why am i blaming you God? ...because you were the only one there..

Why is it so rainy, beads trickle down my neck
in the darkness of my aperture
i cannot feel my sun
its cold and damp down here
but no one cares to find me
or ask where ive gone to, they dont care at all
spiders crawl around me, they worship me like a shrine
i let them feed off my body, to flourish from my decay
they grow
dont take my sorrow to feed your pity
i can pity myself without your help
you think im not capable
DIE
