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
