Ghost
By Aethelwyne
Angry in tears
I once took a knife
I slashed my throat
I ended my life
Id felt so betrayed
So abandoned and lost
I thought death would be better
I hadnt known what it would cost
My sister found me
A crumpled corpse on the floor
She held me and cried
Like id never seen before
I didnt recognize her
Nor the body that had been mine
Nor the several faces
Standing in a solemn line
This girl had been loved
What had she done?
Why was I here?
Why didnt I know anyone?
But I recognized the name
When I looked down at the stone
I then realized in horror
I hadnt been alone

Well then. I like how it starts off getting right to the point. I end my life! And then the thoughts about the incident, and then the actions that take place afterwards, cool shite :)
