be afraid,

[i ask you] do you die?

[you don't answer]

[i ask] do you bleed?

the ache inside never dies,

it brands in my soul,

[i ask] do you still believe you will not die?

[there's a silence, loud enough to bleed ears]

you shattered broken glass,

[i ask] are you afraid?

you don't live,

but yet you can break?

i will find a way,

[your breath quickens and then hitches]

[i ask] are you afraid, once you are gone- you will not be?

[your lashes flutter, and yet you do not respond. i wonder.]

to touch you,

and tear your memory

bit

by

b i t

[i state] you are not to be- you are to have never been

[your words choke, somewhere behind your trachea]

but you shouldn't be afraid,

no,

you should be terrified.
