She died in a body she hated
She died in a body she hated Her last memory was watching herself get assassinated How she died isolated Surrounded by a see of white faces Who stood there being witnesses To something that would be talked about across the ages Her blood had painted the pavement The cop stood there admiring his painting She died in a body...

When the music died
When the music died It turned into police sirens When the music died It was like playing musical statues Without the music And forever stuck in silence When the music died It gave space for the gunshots And the screams that came after it When the music died The soul died too When the music died The world stood...

This is Where I Died in You
It was not the blade, not the scream, not the thousand prayers swallowed before morning came. It was the moment your silence blinked and I saw myself inside it. Not you. Only my echo dressed in your name. I knelt inside your chest, curled beside the last warm place you left for me, before the fire went out. You called it love. I called it extinction. Still, I touched your hand like...

He Died For Me
My gosh! Oh how can it be That Jesus suffered and died for me?

After a star has died
You were gone before we noticed your light, Glittering golden in the night skies. Your brilliance could not stir our sight, Yet you're not forgotten come sunrise. Glittering golden in the night skies, Illuminating with an already dead glow. Yet you're not forgotten come sunrise— Only discovered once you let go. Illuminating with an already dead glow, You still make an impact after all...

The flowers died on Monday
The flowers died on Monday The ones that’s showed up at my door I say that I love you “I’ll always love you more” We sit and watch my favorite show “You spoiled it, I already know” We say goodnight and go to bed “Without you I’m filled with dread” We wake up and go to work “When I come home I’ll...

As the Music Died
After the last note of the concerto, after the thunderous applause, after the presentation flowers, after the congratulations of her admirers behind the curtain, she walks still smiling quickly to her dressing room where alone she sheds bitter tears for the missed notes and that too muddled passage where her music fell short of the perfection she had rehearsed in her head. The conductor knocks gently at her...

I AM NOT A DIED POET
I am not a died poet, Don't see me quit, I have a lot to do, which keeps me far to write, But I haven't stop writing, poems still loading in my hurt, Not only in hurt, poems come even at night. So! My readers, give me your time, Sorry for my disappear, for not publish my rhymes, Soon...

Died Inside
When you left, I was in pain. When you left, I was in sorrow. Though I was still smiling, I was still laughing, and having fun. That was only outside. Because on the inside, that’s where I died, and I was never revived....

The number that died
I used to slit my arms open like I was peeling fruit—careful, slow, watching the skin give way like wet paper. The box cutter blade was dull, sticky from God knows what—maybe dried glue, maybe someone else’s blood—but it still did the job. I’d carve so deep the fat would bloom up like egg whites...
