For You I Have Died
Treasures fill a hollow soul
paper-mache filters through the air
from a once rough exterior
and through cardboard eyes
I see the whole world watching
waiting anxiously
for me to fall apart
Blow by blow I crumble ever so slight
moved in ways I have never known
a puppet to the forces of nature
dangling at the end of my rope
there is no hope
as I sprinkle what's left of me
onto a world full of take
Lifeless I lie
for you I have died.

I agree with Lily. Emotional death is one of its own kind. Excruciating. It as if the heart physically crumbles...as a deep, sharp ache penetrates through every layer.

Such a deep write. Getting beat down by a world that just takes.
Great write.

"moved in ways I have never known
