A Questioning Dead Body
By Half-Dead Agonist
Why does living burn so terribly much?
Why is it that when I smoke, it burns my throat?
And when I cut myself, the knife hurts my being?
And when I write suicide notes, my sobbing eyes swell with redness?
Why do I want to cry every time I look into my true love's eyes?
Why does it hurt every time I delay the tempting kiss of suicide?
Why does solitude love to kill me?
Why shouldn't I die before my next breath?
Why do I prolong this death?
Why does no one answer me a single question:
Why not tonight?

I know that type of question and asking it is useless..though the answers do come...sometimes too late..but they come.
