In Death

By virginalnympho

Staring at the ghastly sight
The people force fake tears to pour
The destination of her final flight
Was a sorrow covered concrete floor
Her eyes were still wide open
Burrowing into their heartless souls
Every limb on her body was broken
But finally she felt whole
Her escape was one of drastic measures
She felt trapped with few choices
Her broken heart had no hope for cures
And she couldn't silent the bitter voices
They screamed of pain and isolation
Ripped her apart from within
Forcing her into her own destruction
Had her clawing at her bruised skin
Her final moments were spent in fear
The evidence was locked in her eyes
All her insecurites were now clear
And in death, she no longer held any lies

    Outstanding piece, and as already said, depressing at the same time. This partially inspired an upcoming piece that I know I'll be writing probably in a few minutes.. Well done, I love it.

    Incredibly sad write. I feel a great sorrow for anyone that feels that is the only way to escape, it hurts like hell to be in that spot. Thanks for sharing this.
