Endings

End
Close
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
