My friend and new boyfriend stand over me-
A dead corpse, blood surrounding me on the floor;
They know I'm dead-they're crying over me,
They didn't know why I had killed myself.
They knew I had used a kknife to kill the pain-
They saw my flesh tore open where wounds are now.
I didn't die of natural causes-
They know-but I also wasn't murdered;
I sacrificed myself because you betrayed me.
They don't know about my own sufferings,
Just my depression and how much I had loved you-
They tried to help me through it;
But it was too much for me to take anymore-
I commited suicide and now they are
Crying over my dead corpse in sadness
Because of my suicide art-they do know
That it was also the Goth gods telling me
To commit suicide so I could be
The next ruler of the Goths after Satan.
My friends and new boyfriend read the suicide
Letter I had wrote the day before they found me-
They stop mid sentence and weep over my corpse.
Then they continue to read the letter,
Knowing I'm gone and somewhere better
Than here; they are pained with my death
But are also understanding of why I
Commited suicide-they finish reading
The letter and cry some more.
They tell my family my wishes to be kept
Unburied and uncremated-my soul should
Be free to wander and linger in the
Shadows and darkness of the world.
The letter had also stated that I
Be forgotten for the rest of forever.
You let my family know of this-
They place my dead corpse in my bed-
And leave me there, forgotten and alone.
They thank you for coming-
And tell you to take the walk
Of shame to your pointless life with her;
My friends continue to watch over me;
Praying that I've made it to Satan.
They stay and comfort my family,
And then my family said it was time
For my friends to leave and forget;
My friends leave, but my new boyfriend
Stays with my corpse, crying because
He loved me a lot-we were best friends
And were always there for the other.
He stays and cries himself to sleep,
He too, also passes away to join me-
He was very devoted to me, and
Didn't want me to die this way.
You shamefully walk back in with her,
And say your final goodbyes-
Even she has something to say.
You leave, and now my new boyfriend
And I are together forever at last-
We're both dead-but still together.
I was too lost to be saved-
You arrived too late, and here I am,
Dead corpse still bleeding helplessly.
THis is an inspiring type of poem in my mind. It stirs up a lot of feelings of sadness and the past. It's a depressing poem of course, but I still recommend it. It's filled with such emotion.
