This one was written at a very dark time in my life. While I was writing this my knife, freshly sharpened, was waiting for me to finish. The original copy has blood on it. This was also the beginning of my "Black Phase"
Blood slowly drips
Forming a pool on the floor
Heart still beating
Wave upon wave of pain
To profound for words
Too much energy to scream
A low moan
Escapes between two lips
Thunder roars in the distance
Lightning streaks across the blackened sky
Rain pelts, the dry, brown earth
Water snakes through the cracked sidewalks
Racing like rivers to an ocean
The air feels threatening
Fear looms ominously
The black edge of Death
Precariously close
Life balanced on a single thread
Easily snapped at any moment
The presence of nothingness is strong
Strong enought to feel the lifeforce
Ebb slowly away
To the black void of eternity
