Last Cut

by Aken Sol   Jul 9, 2004


Gazing at my lifeless arm
Through blank and empty eyes
Watching the blood flow down my hand
And drip down on the ground
Splat
Not to cause any alarm
I’m not going to die
The cut is only flesh deep
It won’t lead to my demise
Splat
The slice leaves a tingly feeling
Around where the wound lies
The sensation I feel hurts, but I like
Because it tells me I’m alive
Splat
This pain is noting to the hurt
That is always in my chest
My bleeding heart and aching soul
Yearning to be at rest
Splat
Suddenly I feel light headed
So I lean against the wall
I gave a bitter smile
As I took a stumble and fall
Splat
I realized I cut a vein
Looking wearily at the puddle of blood
Too much blood loss to recuperate
Too late to fight my fate
Splat
Slowly I fade into the dark
I did it to feel alive
And now I’ve ended up dying
Closing my eyes, I drift away
….

    Good poem Aken. You misspelled "nothing" and wrote "noting" instead, I think you can find it in there if you look hard enough. I agree with Tiffany when she says the splat added a cool effect. Nice stuff.
