Click hereDon't scream
it is only a twist
a gentle scraping
of your soul
The knife goes deeper
yet there is no pain
feelings dead
numbed unsaid
No words spoken
nothing broken
only a heart
beating off the hook
Is anyone there?
Does anyone care?
Don't scream
We'll meet in dreams
It is only a twist
and won't hurt a bit
The knife goes deeper
leaving a message
There is no beep
nothing to rewind
only our souls
forever intertwined

Death by loneliness ~ sinking deeper ~ feelings dead numbness sets in. Perhaps - we'll meet in a dream.

It is only a twist
and won't hurt a bit
The knife goes deeper

the message is indeed final in this one.....don
This dark poetry kept me glued to the screen. I love your simple yet effective delivery. Well done, Sack!
This is next door to getting it done. I didn't like the
4th verse, but loved the rest. It moves like the message.
I thought it was a great use of rhyme and most verses had
a killer line to back it up. Tell me, did you write this
quickly? It flows so well I'd say you kept the same train
of thought the whole time.
