falling, falling down the stairs
dying, dying, watching all the stares
Knowing, knowing that no one cares
Completing, Completing a life, deep dispares

Saw it falling, knew it happened there
Asymptotic, felt it level there
Watch the space, juxtaposed, lonely stare
Tell me now, it's more than i can bare

Severed limbs, dancing round the stage
Truth be spoken, assured of early curtain
Tightly bound, deeply uttered death be certain
Unknowing words were spoken, upon this war she waged

i could be bounded in a nut shell and count myself king of infinite space

Very good poem.  I much enjoyed it from start to finish.  You did a neat thing with repetition.

This one's not my favorite of the ones I've read of yours, but it's still good... I'm just not too keen on the severed limbs part. Otherwise it's great!

hahaha, severed limbs is the only part refering to the woman being killed.  it's the end to the war she waged.  Start a war, you'll die
