Waiting for the crushing blow to rear it’s head,
For the soil underneath to give up it’s grasp,
For the clouds to clasp and never open back up,
For the oxygen to deplete, life leaves me.
The rain hasn’t stopped and sleep hasn’t come.
The body rests dejected enticed by death’s grin.
Tell me how you cared, I’ll show you true neglect
Tell me you were there, I’ll show you an absence of life.
Aiming for the perfect shot, between the eyes.
Hiding secrets kept behind an empty smile.
Beguiled eyes fed rehearsed lines.
Razor slices vein, dripping exit sign.
The rain hasn’t stopped and sleep hasn’t come.
The body rots, neglected, enticed by death’s grin.
Tell me how you cared, I’ll show you true neglect
Tell me you were there, I’ll show you an absence of life.
No written warning, no subtle hints.
The bed is burning and i’m tucked in.
The soil opens, I find my plot.
The bleed keeps seeping, these wounds never clot.
