Dead or Alive?

Do you see her

hallowed out eyes,

Screaming for attention

along the lines of

Touch and Sight.

 

Feelings become numb.

 

Her dying heart

ceases to beat

As a cold lifeless corps

lies within a box,

Unmoving and Unwanted.

 

She attends her own funeral.

 

There lies no tear

among the cheeks

Of the selfish people

who let her fall.

Ignorant and Selfish.

 

She's alive...

She's dead.

The bomb goes off...

They're all alive...

... They're all dead.
