Life and death

I stand staring in her eyes,

Tears fall cascading down her face,

Beauty is similar to emptiness,

And love is life in disgrace. 

Forced to deal with this situation,

She pleads, begging me to stay.

I only want my empty fascination,

To break me, alone , in a faceless decay.

Shattered - she grabs the blade,

Slits herself navel to chin,

Bleeding out history is made,

I allow her sin.

False sense of hope prevails,

Against the grain I stare in her lifeless eyes.

No more! My sanity is frail.

I never wanted everything to die.
