![]() My heart stopped beating todayA Poem by hunglikejesus![]() this is what I imagined my suicide would be like if I was still able to think.![]() My heart stopped beating today Clouds passed over to pay their respects Even the trees slumped in remembrance of me My eyes fixed and crusted by exposure My mouth is dry and my tongue is swelling I was so tired of breathing air meant for someone else If this life is mine why can’t I give it away My heart stopped beating years ago anger was the only thing that kept me from laying down I hated to see sun come up My gut was filled with empty heads and staring eyes the quick and the dead I was locked in endless daydream and blinding ignorance The only way out was in through bolted doors and booby trapped self help All I recognized were partners in misery My heart stopped beating today and I feel no better The grass has already started to grow under me This world does not stop to mourn The animals will come in search of a meal Ashes to ashes and all My lungs worked as life support for a empty husk My legs carried me from one disappointment to the next My hands failed me this should have happened sooner My mouth was a tool of destruction to innocents Down trodden and heavy laden was my lullaby My heart stopped beating today but my pain hasn’t I WANT MY LIFE REVIEW © 2012 hunglikejesus |
