To My Death
Niki Campana 1987 (U.S.A)
I can feel it just falling away
Like piece of clothe
Only it's my skin
A flush of red
Like a busted pen
I sat there and bleed
Breaking away what's left
I'm left here a hollow mess
Nothing of my life remains
Limbs going numb
My times almost done
The last bit of wormth
Runs out my vains
I had to escape the pain
And when you wake
I'll be cold and blue
About this poem
It's about suicide because of a broken heart.
