*creeps in silently, hoping that no one would think too badly of her*


Death comes not when breath cease
Stealing your last kiss like a rogue lover
Entrancing your heart till it stops beating in ache
Rushed from the bittersweet sorrow as you grow cold
When your thread is cut and the web falls away
Leaving you wonder if it lingers when you're gone

Death comes not when daggers sheath in flesh
Cutting away paths pumping ruby liquid streams branching in a maze
Until you watch yourself as a draining sieve
Leaving to energy's will able to live, slashed so deeply
Burning pain as fires break out inside you skin
Engulfed in last Life passion's glow

For only when your clutch in faith dwindles, flickering embers cooling
Desire fading in and out again as a phage lost
There would be slits of Love bleeding
Death comes not on surface
Until it happens inside

To live still without life
Death comes not




*creeps out again*

~Astraea

I loved the whole poem but this line is fantabulous !
