Blackness
My body is numb
I can’t see you
Only hear you
Crying
“Why?” you say
I feel you lift me
Holding my body as you cry
Why are you crying?
Can’t you see I’m here?
I feel strange
Why is he crying?
What happened?
A memory
Rushing through my mind
A knife
A pain
Weakness
Sadness
Darkness
What’s next
The answer makes me whimper
I am too weak to cry
I know the answer now
Why did I do this?
I can’t explain
Maybe the pleasure
Maybe the pain
He’s calling my name
I see him
His face
Only for a moment
His eyes soft with sadness
He’s holding me close
Holding my head
My hair
He whispers something
I barely hear
I love you
Blackness

Well done on this one. I see nothing wrong with this one so let me comment upon it all. I enjoy this series. Even though I have been a pain in the butt and removing almost half of it, I do like the content.
I hope to see more of your work  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Yeah thanks alot, Dopes. Jeez...

I don't actually like this piece. The idea was there but you haven't executed it to your usual standard.

Still it is another good addition to your series.

Ooh, straight forward, AF.  
I, for one, did like this.  But she's often right so I might peek at the others in the series.
I see in here some of your own unique creativity... and some of this reminds me of your "experimental writing form" from all those months ago.... the one-word-a-line format.  Really, really cool how you incorporated this into this poem but didn't let it restrict you... you actually often did two or three words.  At least, that's my theory.
