"Is This My Fate?"
Feeling dead
 This useless life
 Everyday the same as the last
 A repeating cycle of confusion
 The medication of a memory
 A current I cannot control.
 Like an addicting drug
 Running through my veins
 And prickling my torn bloody skin.
 The past returns
 To bring back that pain
 My memories feed off nightmares
 The never ending flow
 Living in the present
 But stuck in the past
 A place between now and then
 This no man's land
 Blood tears flow
 To my parched swollen gums
 My tongue laps for the crimson drops
 Trickling down my throat.
 Remembering the past
 That I've tried and tried
 To forget and just leave behind
 But haunting my life
 Every step that I make
 And every tear that I've ever cried.
 Sleepless nights
 I've tossed and I've turned
 Searching my mind for a right
 To give up this life
 And move on to death
 To leave behind the pain I still feel.

Haurting, dark, kinda like how I felt a few days ago. This is well-written, and beautiful in an underworld sense.
On another note, I really love the photo you chose to accompany the poem, very eye-catching and intriguing :)
