The Sweet Taste of Death

I sleep with a gun at my head,
The sweet smell of death,
The sweet taste of blood,
I sleep well tonight.

I fall asleep by pulling the trigger,
The nice feeling of metal,
The nice cold temperature,
I fall asleep with no tears tonight.

I lie my head on my pillow,
My hands by my face.
I can no longer smell,
I can no longer taste,
I can no longer feel,
I can no longer cry,
I can only look upon myself fast asleep & smile.
For I know I will never wake to see the sun again...

  • hmm very very dark, i love your descriptions here. they're very detailed. i like it. i thought it was a little short, but thats only because i so enjoyed reading it. Unfortunately, and this saddens me because i really liked this poem, but you didn't follow my rules so i will have to DQ you. SORRY

    ooh, i likee... very dark and depressing tone, but yet, calm and serene at the same time. i really love the way this poem makes death seem so welcome, and hey, haven't we all felt like that? (well, i sure have, so i can relate easily)

    i loved how the first stanza just INSTANTLY caught my attention with the sleep and the gun, and the use of the 5 senses makes it even more effective.

    great little write thanks for entering!
