It Is DeathA Poem by DeirdreI want him to scratch away at my surface Tear me away until there is nothing left to bleed I want my bones to break apart And all of my secrets and all of my lies To stain the floor. I want him to see the truth of me The blood curdling screams of A life that I have kept Muffled and hidden behind Eyes that do not seem to see I want to share my ghosts Not just the ones that never fade, But the ones that hold onto my wrists Keeping me here, when I would give anything to Leave. I want him to tear away At skin and muscle until all that is left Is my soul. A dripping oily mess Who's reflective quality Is the thing I hate the most I want to kill him with my Wretchedness I want my nightmares to haunt His dreams If only to have someone to share This with. It is death knowing the end of things. © 2009 DeirdreAuthor's Note
