~*Beautiful Boy*~

There's a necklace i see

in the shape of a snake

it hangs around his neck

in a most peculiar way

he's bloodied and bruised

he did it to himself

now he stands like a trophy

hanging on a shelf

my beautiful boy

look what you've done

you've hurt yourself now

you seem to be bleeding

you seem to be dying

what should i do with the pain?

it's all but a bit too much

don't worry my dear boy

i'm taking care of it

we'll soon be together

singing of the summer

you used to love the way i sing

i used to love the suffocation

will you send the pain below?

will you let me die here alone?

my wonderful boy

why worry yourself with all of this?

it will soon be over for you

you took the pain away for you

but still remains in me

echoing, resounding in my hollow emptiness

as it shall, always.

You expressed the pain beautifully,it was a sad poem, with small glimmers of happiness when looking back on memories. I loved it.
