Description Take a knife
Carve away
All the pain
And the stain
That revealed you to his eyes
Made you cry
Make it stop
Make it all go away

Do not listen
To their cries
They are lying
You are dying
There is nothing
Carve away

All you have
Is the darkness
Empty darkness
Swirling
Spinning
Biting
Gnashing
Slashing
Catching
Hurting
End it all
Carve away

It is nothing
Do not fear
Fly away
Far from here
When you think
It is gone
Keep flying
It is there
You must stop it
Stop it now
Let it go
Carve away

Do not stop
When they call you
They are echoes
Empty echoes
Spinning lies
Never telling
All the knowledge
Of the world
Is denied you
Let them know
You will fight
Take the knife
Carve away

Do not cry
It means nothing
Free the darkness
From your soul
Let it
Burn
Bite
Scratch
Fight
Harm
Explode
Do not stop it
It is coming
It means nothing
Carve away

You are dead
Don't deny it
Why stay here
Nothing holds you
You are weak
You must fight
Burn away
All the ties
Love is nothing
It's a lie
They are lying
Cut them off
End it all
Carve away
Until all nothing

Is gone.

It's stark and peculiar in places, and as you don't know where it came from I'm guessing there's no specific thing I'm looking for in this piece.

It's loaded with abstract notions (rather than images):

"Empty echoes
Spinning lies"

... for example, and almost every line could be the first of a new and vastly different poem.

This one I will choose as my favourite.

Yeah...and what you said earlier about the shorter lines, I've figured out that when I try to say too much, I DO say too much, so I write shorter things, and trust in the readers intelligence and imagination...

"intelligence and imagination"...

Hmm. I believe in aliens, so I'm maybe not so intelligent, but I am imaginative!

I believe in vampires, faeries, and Avalon, so maybe I'm not that intelligent either and while I may not be exactly imaginative, I can add another "i" word...insane

I think insanity has always been seen as a boon to the poetry. I must work more on being crazy, I think
