TICK TOCK.

TICK.

I hit the floor,

my scream

kissing the air

in poignant despair.

My eyes slam shut,

my heart pumps blood-

and it stops.

My veins run cold and empty,

my face pale and twisted...

no tears.

No fears.

TOCK.

My vision swarms,

my lips sting

with every kiss and touch

they've ever shared with yours.

My hands itch

you're a f*****g b***h.

I'd love to hold you,

then strangle you with

your own intestines.

I'm crying.

I'm dying.

TICK.

Another second,

I can't stand it.

I find my savior.

The knife I've held close.

I kiss my wrists,

loving this bliss...

Blood rains onto the floor,

I can take no more...

Only a little deeper.

I love you....

I hate you....

TOCK.

My skin is ragged,

torn and spliced.

My veins weep their bloody tears,

taking with them my fears...

And I'm looking into death's

bloodshot eyes

once more.

My nude back

meets the cold floor.

It slips

from my quivering lips.

TICK.

MATTHEW.

KYLE.

ASHLEY.

You've made something,

you have,

you've bred a monster...

And I'll run to the devil,

make love with him,

and haunt you forever more.

I'm smiling,

you're dying.

TOCK.

I'm already dead, you see.

You've killed me.

The shriek my heart

let loose, is echoing...

It's vibrating my empty chest.

My heart is bones and ashes,

bloody thorns embedded 

in my shriveling stomach,

and I'm long since dead.

I'm gone.

You're wrong.

Its very well written but creates a very sad picture in my mind. As I sit here reading this I am thinking I know how it feels to want to do what you explained so well in this writing. Its a very sad feeling to wish you were dead and that nobody sees you or cares about you but you must know that I care about you.

"my scream kissing the air//in poignant despair"......"And I'll run to the devil, make love with him//and haunt you forever more." Indeed it is intense, so graphic and alive with death! Such pain, you're filling the page with it.

[Desert Dreamer]

I like the TICK TOCK format, really made this poem intense, reminds me of the beating heart.
