You can die upon a sword,
Trying to alleviate your broken heart.
On your knees, "dear sundered spirits!,
Won't you come tear me apart?"
Shut down my nervous system,
Cease my breath so I can stop the pain.
Don't let me take love's shortcuts,
And elatedly escape Death's way.
This cross on my back is asphyxiating;
Break my legs, release me...
My heart is aching!
Decaying life among the brambles,
Morphine just isn't worth its cost.
Never thought immortality's so evil;
I'm choking on the past that haunts.
I am asphyxiated... by love.
Love is life upon a sword,
To kill yourself for hope,
Waiting for some betterment...
I represent Death's best interests,
To release and bring you rest...
This cross on my back is asphyxiating!
Keep my heart, release me;
My soul is breaking!
These nails on my hands are excruciating!
Break my legs, release me...
My heart is aching!

Another product of those boring times in class, when your anguish whispers in your ear little songs from sorrow...

high sense of thought -
little songs from sorrow...i like that. haha. and i love the word "asphyxiating". to be honest, i had to look it up, but since i love looing up words (i'm a word nerd), it only made the experience of reading this poem more pleasurable. I especially liked the first stanza and this line:
I represent Death's best interests,
To release and bring you rest...
you certainly have an interesting way of putting things. i love how acrobatic poetry and writing can get...you're always doing flips and twisting around and jumping up to get a better view, to get a different view. thanks for sharing this different angle with me. your little whisper just hopped right into my ear through these words. -
