Euthanasia

by Leah20   Mar 26, 2006


Clinging to her bones unwound
Feverish kicking, a light abounds
The stentch of decay does penetrate my bones
The light I thought I saw flickering is shone

A morsel of life in this hideous mess
Summons the hour of final breath
The taste of decay sends shivers down my spine
What has happened to this sister of mine?

In nature a prowess, force to be reckoned with
She lies now in shambles death to her is my final gift
But alas my love, life lingers on
Far past the burden of death's dawn

The body it lingers, fermenting in living decompisition
A soul bound to Earth in unfulfilled mission
Death with dignity or life with sorrow
Shall she live to see tomorrow?

The body is dying yet the heart still is beating
Oh Lord when is our meeting?
Is it fair to prolong this lifelessness
Or shall we starve her to death?

It doesnt feel finished to me and yeah its not that great meh its my first attempt at writing in a really long time, thanks for taking the time to read it!

    I loved the poem, sometimes the rhyme was a bit iffy, but it didnt really deduct from the final thing!

    This was actually really good! You did a great job for not having written something for a while. You used alot of big powerfull words, Which made it alot more exciting, The flow of it was just right, And you had a great rhyme scheme! Overall, I think it was awesome. Keep it up! 5/5
