Death of a Suicide

I lie here in my dead pool.
Consumed by the rotting
corpses of past lives.

Memories fade with time, yet
the rancid stench of each
remains.

My heart survived being
bleed out only once, becoming
nothing more than a useless
piece of rotting flesh. Not
worthy of a single thought
past being kicked aside.

Hopes of immortality have
been replaced by an eternal
empty vortex which reaches
out with it's gnarled
gruesome claws. Driven only
by unseen demon's whose only
purpose is to destroy the
remaining remnants of my
already shattered sanity.

Suddenly I awaken to find
that once again that blessed
promise of death has yet
eluded me.

G. Williams
