Help me

Deathly cold at midnight
seeping through the gates.
Hiding the stars from sight.
Nothing seems new of late.

Sweeping into life.
Falling far from help.

Why do these feelings haunt me?
Why can I not escape?
Some day I\'ll make you see.
Until then I\'ll be here.

Can\'t seem to make any light
of these dark thoughts.
All my hopes take flight
and are replaced with hate.

Creeping across my skin.
Rising from the dead.

Why do these feelings haunt me?
Why can I not escape?
Some day I\'ll make you see.
Until then I\'ll be here.

Sweeping into life.
Falling far from help.

I reach out with all my might
and scream my curses in the air.
without you curses hold no bite.
See me run from my fear.

leaking throught my heart.
Filling me with bile.

Creeping across my skin.
Rising from the dead.

Why do these feelings haunt me?
Why can I not escape?
Some day I\'ll make you see.
Until then I\'ll be here.

Sweeping into life.
Falling far from help.

Pain is my only right.
It calls me like nothing else.
I fly to great hights
To bring you back to me.

Spilling across my mind.
Carving you in my arm.

Leaking throught my heart.
Filling me with bile.

Creeping across my skin.
Rising from the dead.

Why do these feelings haunt me?
Why can I not escape?
Some day I\'ll make you see.
Until then I\'ll be here.

Sweeping into life.
Falling far from help.

Way too far from help.
Doesn't really need a description does it?

It's really nicely written, the emotion is expressed so well! I love the sinister adjectives you've used and the personification of emotions (well, i think that's what they are of!) and the way you are speaing to someone but we can't tell who or why makes it really mysterious sounding. The rythm is really steady and the repetition really helps to emphasise the words.

Can you tell I'm a literature student? I have to make myself shut up before I go into full-on analyse-this-poem-and-write-an-essay-about-it mode! ^^;;;

I DO really like this though. Its so nicely written, emotional, and has a really sinister feel to it.
