I need no knife to kill me
For it tears me apart within
Claws shredding, a pain that strikes
Until I'm left wheezing on cool, wooden floor
A divine rot in my chest, parasiting
And I want to breathe
So desperately, I wish to crumple up the pain
Let me BREATHE
And set it as a nock in my bow
My skin trembles, my bones shake
Violently, dangerously, shivers down a rose
My entire being is a golden cage around a red scream
And the only way to contain it is to drown my lungs
Until even my beating heart doesn't even flinch
Let me BREATHE
And I am but a ghost of glorious purpose, passion, and pride
Violet rage, a humiliation like cold droplets of water
Bleeding down the raw edges of dry, scratched skin
And bruised goosebumps
Breathe for love, gasp for terror
And none of it will ever matter,
For it will be dust in the stardust
And I'll still feel be feeling
Pathetically self-pitiful
Before my skull bursts like a cherry bubblegum pop!
