I Killed Myself Today

i killed myself today Just to see if i still am me.
i spoke the feelings of my own life in poems
  and i thought i killed myself until i felt myself
inside your pain -- And who denies  (what i am become)
when everyone goes away   and i have everything
(just my own words) 
  when i alone cry.
i shed my crown of thoughts just to say, 
"my feelings still disappear --"
  i am what i become
my dearest friend
   every beat of my 
heart i give to you alone
 --not to let you down
IF like my heart: if i could 
start again:  everything
would be alright.  If North
was South and West was won
i should lay my love dearest
sweetest friend.  If every-
yearning heart had it all 
my empire of Love would never
let you down.
