So..You Killed Yourself...

By Zhee

The epitome of despair
The exasperating defeat,
Drowned in the bloody pool
Staining the barren concrete.

Reflected in bleeding eyes
Shards of broken dreams,
The abysmal emptiness within
That only pain ever redeems.

Fall like the blazing angel
The enraged heaven releases,
Let tears put out your fire
While you rest in pieces....
