Gore warning!
30/Oct/20 16:21: Veins
My veins are cords
They make a twang sound when I pull them out
As I weave this body for you.
Because someone took you away
They forgot to give you back
I hear your laughter only in my head
But it's so loud I don't hear my spine crack
Like a zip I pull my spinal cord out
My body rips, but it's worth it
Because you will come back
Someone promised you would live
For another ten full years
I knew they believed that, but life had lied again.
I didn't realise my heartbeat is so warm
But it is comforting to see it in my palms
I stick it all to the veins
I peel my flesh like paper
Ugly. Ugly pain.
I put it all together, give you your body
Give you a lung for air
I pull my brain in half
I give half to you, the one that can talk
And I don't mind it, being mute, just to hear you
And I don't mind this, not walking, because you will
And I won't mind this pain, it will be worth it
But life, God, lied again
Because all that has happened
Is my body is in shreds
Yet you
You are still... dead
