Death unnoticed

You are

Screaming in my face

But I force myself to swallow those words

That want to fly from my lips like

Life-stealing bullets

They would only make the beating worse

So I let those words slide,

Cutting thin and deep down my fragile throat

I choke down the razor sharpness of them

Making me cough and bleed inside

Much like the thousands of words I choked upon before

I open my mouth to scream,

But a river of red-black bloods flows out

Down my chin and unto the floor to pool about you feet,

But you are unaware

I am dying,

From the inside out,

I am dying

Choking on all those words

I was always afraid to say

And still...
You are unaware.

This is really super awsome. I liked it a lot.

So sad and depressing. So familiar. The cry for help that goes unspoken and unnoticed. It's not like anyone would really listen if it was voiced anyway. This was good, but doesn't anyone try to rhyme anymore?
