Dead, Alive, What's the difference?
by Kandie
(Minnesota, USA)
endless kisses
upon the lips
of your one true love
happiness and joy are just that way
until disaster strikes
again and again and again
and your love is quickly
and swiftly destroyed
never to be seen again
and as you lay on the bed,
the pills in your hand
you wake up
and begin again
broken down with the same
heart broken before
endlessly bleeding
and tears red as the blood
draining from the heart
until you awake
no more to begin
again because there's
no point in sight
and we die slowly,
the poison of life
destroying us
faces mocking,
in our daily struggle
