Conclusion
Fin
Black…
It’s too late now
The dogs are asleep now
Tears are unshed now
Peace is gone now
You’re gone too now
Breathe
Shaking violently
Contorting beyond recognition
Bloodless cold
Soundless screams
Crooked broken smiles
Focus
Stop staring one-eyed ghost
Sprawled mutilated cat
It wasn’t me
I didn’t murder her
Fingerless hands did
Persist
It hurts deeply
I stabbed a child deeply
Piercing his heart deeply
Down in the deep black
I hurt me deeply
Do I live?
I need to live to die
I haven’t lived
So I won’t die
Yet I live
I killed me
Yet I live
I sleep forever
Yet I live
I’m gone from me
Yet I live
I drown endlessly
Yet I live
Knocked over again
Do I continue?
Do I continue?
Do I continue?
Can I continue?
Is it worth knowing my truth?
Is this my ending?
Blank?
Yes
No
This is the beginning
