today i woke up
with Death beside me
his cold arms
wrapped around
my fragile body
content
i sigh
i am where i belong
where i should have been
since the moment of my birth
his body is swollen
with other people's
tears
softly i whisper
into his rotten ear
nothing is true
and i'm tired of this sad today
but at least
my mind is empty
and this wonderful
numbness
makes all the pain go away

maybe i'll catch fire, something nice to warm me. something pure to burn away the darkness, that hides inside my mind. -alkaline trio-

I just absolutely love reading poems like this. Fat full of emotions, depth, and darkness.

That was my favorite part, but the entire poem was very well written. Thank you so much for posting this poem.

Oh wow... Bergundy, this is amazing. THe personfication of death was fantastic.
"his body is swollen
with other people's
tears"
Those were my favorite lines, by far. Excellent work.. just excellent.
I look forward to reading more.

I wish your fingers could touch all I can't say... no one should ever feel this alone.
