Sarah

Shawn Keller

We were walking.Autumn darkness in the air.
She said it would never end.
Godamm I miss her.
She knew I could not live without her.
She knew I would not live without her.
Why,Why would you leave.I gave you my life,I gave you my soul.
Your lips.
Blood red lips,so blue.
The knife went so smooth.The blood so red.She cried as she bled.
Godamm you for this agony.Is this what you wanted?
The grave warmed your soft skin like my touch never could.
Don't leave me.You said you never would.
The knife went much more rough over my own throat.
It didn't hurt.It felt sad.
Goddamm you Sarah,Godamm you to me.
