Strawberry Moon

What pleasure are you still refusing to take?

I refuse to indulge in the pleasure of dying as my lungs continue to collapse beneath the weight of my ivory ribs. My heart is swollen with sorrow but it keeps on beating, my blood maybe overflow as my lungs fill with liquid but I keep on breathing.

The gift of death is not one that I will take, I will cling on to my life as my suffering clings to me.
