Die Alone

I live this life erratically

I speak my words rhythmatically

I've been beaten spitefully

And I've lost control to easily.



Within my mind, I'm forever lost

Lost within these beautiful thoughts

The thoughts of collapsing faithlessly

Letting go of all the pain and rage.



Will anybody care if I die alone?

Or will my body decay in the ground cold?

Will there be a hand reaching out to me?

Or will I be burning in flames internally?



Can you hear me? I'm still waiting;

For a cure; a cure for this acheing.

I suppose I was meant to be this cold;

I suppose I was meant to die alone.

These words are so captivating. They capture so much -- the fear of death, the longing for that helping hand, it's truly amazing. My dear, this poem is one of my favorites of yours. It's so immense and detailed. You really did an amazing job with sequencing your feelings of inner darkness and spite. Amazing.
