Pen & a knife

Words in obscurity
Pen & a knife

Speaking to the void
Revelations like wine
Red as blood
From the mouth
A puddle on the floor
Forgotten thoughts

Words discarded
Pen & a knife

Heals with time
Then disappears
Fading memory
Even a life
Just a ghost
Scarcely translucid

Words dried

Pen & a knife

[Chirpy!]

It's so easy for me to visualize your poetry! I always read it silently in my head, too...
I like the somewhat synonymous lines and how when you read the whole thing at once it sounds more depressed as in hopeless but, if you only read small sections, it sounds like someone is screaming.

This is super super powerful and I am impressed with how well the words fit together with imagery. I also adore the repetition of "Pen & a knife", so indifferently, yet so powerfully at the same time.

By the way, second stanza?

The repetition here is very effective and casts a spell. Love this.
