Bittersweet Options

[*Kathleen*]

Why do I feel numb?
Why is it so cold?
What is this feeling I can't succumb?

The light dimmed out long ago
Now I sit here to rot; no one to hold
Why are these scars burned so deep?
Someone save me now or forever I'll sleep
The numbness is quite unbearable
The only thing that could save me now is a miracle
Oh yes - God...where is he now?
He doesn't hear my screams and shouts - am I not loud?
Gasping for bittersweet oxygen, I uncontrollably choke
Crimson liquid peruses my apparel; down it soaks
In an instant, the intruder pierces me once more
My soul slowly escapes my corpse as I fall to the floor
Life is full of "if only"s, is it not?
I'd be here if only it wasn't myself that I fought

I won a contest at poetry[dot]com
Now they won't leave me alone 'cause I won't respond to the shiz they send me....
^_^u I hate poetry contests.......

(If you were dying as you hit the floor, your soul could theoretically escape before you hit it. Not that I make sense when I say that tho.)
