“Where would you go when you die?”

“Where would you sleep when you fall away?”

These answers haunt me;

As I’ve seen you die today.

Awaken in total darkness;

Seeing the old eyes under the same lids.

It keeps beating my heart out, with blood falling away

I fear it before;

But the shadows still live in me.

The mirrors have turned red;

The bones are scattered on the floor, and I live to see it.

My mind is full of pain;

I edge the blade to slit me away.

Oh, the pain I’m in, is bare to believe in.
