The Words of Death

Darkness shrouded in tears upon my face, as I watch 
the essence of my life fade away with every slice of 
the words, like a athame cutting the ritual blood line 
of life. Pain subsides in my head as I ponder death 
over life in my eternal soul, breaking like glass, 
shattering like a mirror, over and over again in a silent 
room unknown to those fooled by a false smile hiding
 my tears hidden in my heart as it cries out. Words 
broken like knives thrown against a wall of blocks 
guarding my happiness are locked away forever as a 
prisoner of poetry, written as a gift or a curse to my 
life , are connected like a life machine unplugged as I 
lye dying in my darkness, letting go of love and life 
mixed with lust and sadness. I walk through the mist,  
fearful of gettin too close to anyone or hurt will come 
as a plague upon my heart, breaking like the rain 
upon my cheeks mixing with my tears forever.
