What More?

NeonKiwi's picture

He slams his fists
into the walls
until they hurt no more
She cries her life
away to waste,
losing what she adored

Broken dollies falling,
falling from the
second floor
Bleeding feet
are flying,
flying out the door

What more?
What more?
What more do you ask?
What else?
What else?
Why me?

He tore his heart
away from his chest,
it's bleeding on the floor
She's staring,
falling, flying, wishing
she were something more

What more?
What more?
What more do you ask?
What else?
What else?
Why me?

What more?
What more?
What more do you ask?
What else?
What else?
Why me?

What a painfully gorgeous poem.
"She cries her life
away to waste,
losing what she adored"
I'm enchanted.

Insanity is an impression I like to cultivate. It keeps normal people away.
