sour memories are best when they are initially murdered
for such faint feelings of loss and regret
shouldn't be allowed to be furthered
I wondered if I was correct when I heard her
why couldn't there have been invented such a device as
a 'Hate Converter'
simplicity of thought is not an option for the battered
and weak willed
the blood in my veins runs stagnant yet somehow at the
same time distilled
and still these feelings of inadequacy I can not find
the strength to kill
the toughest thing in life to come up against has to
be one's own force of will
on my stricken face one final tear has fallen and
spoiled as it spilled
and in my icy heart the blood has run silently cold
and untouched it has chilled
and as I exhale one last painful breath
I pray for a different life so to put an end to
'This Living Death'..............
