Best Poems Written by Cecilia Kastner

Underwater

Fear trickled down her spine
as the razor blade appeared.
"Try it." they said,
"It'll make all the bad things disappear."
And so she obliged, without a moment to hesitate.
And this morning I found her:
eyes dead, lips blue.
The smell of regret lingering over her
like a mother watching her baby sleep.
And it was sad;
the way she went.
hating herself, hating the world.
that torturous blade.
Ending so many beautiful things
