In my mind, all there is
Is knives.

They cut,
They saw,
They slaughter my mind.
The blades plague my every thought.

How do I break them?
How do I do it?
Some of my "poetry" may not be poetry.

Isn't it weird?
We find death beautiful.

The slow rotting of the leaves in the fall,
We reward old age among the elders in society.

Yet we fear death,
We fear the outcome; what will happen.

Sometimes we are annoyed with death,
at least among plant life.

We rake up the leaves,
we love them until they coat our yards,
becoming a burden.

With dead flowers,
sometimes people keep them.
Sometimes.

Other times they are thrown away,
a carcas of a beautiful life.

I live a dead life.

I'm living.
Not living.

Life is dull,
life is gray.

Life is death.
We're all going to die eventually.

We're dying now.
Our chromosomes are
breaking down as I type this.

I am young,
but I am dying.

We are living a dead life.

Whisper me how I am.

Tell them how I really am,
not a shell of me,
or a new body of me.

Tell my real thoughts,
my real values.

Tell how I looked under the moonlight,
when you whispered "I love you"
Right into my right ear.

Tell them how when I was down,
you came around, and held me tight.
Whispering that it would be alright.

Don't sit there and lie.

Don't tell them that I'm just another girl, because I'm not.

Please.

Whisper me how I am.

If you hadn't gone,
I wouldn't have.

If you hadn't lied,
I wouldn't have.

If you hadn't hurt me,
I wouldn't have.



If you had stayed,
I would have.

If you had been truthful,
I would have.

If you had protected me,
I would have.



If you hadn't ignored me,
I wouldn't have.

If you hadn't hated me,
I wouldn't have.



If you had talked to me,
I would have.

If you had liked me,
I would have.
