I Shouldn't Be Alive

[Dandylion]

The silence is deafening
along the crisp, cold walls
of her long ago torn out heart.
She holds it in her hands,
blowing on it,
looking for signs of life.
Mangled, mutalated, careless hands
torturing the tender muscle.
I should still be alive
she thinks, her mind
realing with the thought.
I shouldnt be alive.

Your poetry has such powerful imagery it induces a certain beauty to the sadness. This leaves me wondering... why are some of the most beautiful things so sad? Presence

Thank you all for your comments. Sometimes it does feel like this, so abstract. I appreciate all your kind comments very much. Thank you~Dandy
