Pillows Talk
Do you know what it smells like to die? It smells like me
If only pillows talked-what stories they could tell
My pillow witnessed many a thing- in this life that I call hell
My pillow is a fluffy thing
without it-I can hardly sleep
I snuggle up-my sweet dreams near
Mind of it's own it has- I fear
My pillows such a harmless thing
Moves of it's own accord- it seems
And then-my pillow talks to me
It holds me down- I'm struggling
My hot wet breath fills up my nose
It smells like me when I explode
Fireworks go off in my eyes
then fade to black as- eye sight dies
With burning lungs- I pummel death
legs kicking hard- cloth steals my breath
And with it takes my worst and best
So ends my Ballet dance with death
Oh I know how it smells to die
It smells like me- I say goodbye
Then as my pillow gathers strength
I hear it's laughing voice I think
My movements stop-deaths not so bad
Till pillow laughing-sounds like DAD
LAST THOUGHT LAST THOUGHT LIFE UNFAIR
DADS DONE RESTS IN EASY CHAIR

Love your poetry hate your pain
Stands out stark and I feel drained

Beautifully expressed though
I make a bow
Luv & hugz to you Shaunda

Thank you. Good god, if pillows talked there would be a lot of people in jail. Oh. You means lovers talking after a passionate night?

I must say, WELL DONE! Loved the flow, meter and rhyme. And the story told, though dark indeed, was told with such flair and fright and almost as if to sigh, OK, at least that's over with. Great read Shaunda!

Yep...
Although not my Da, I do get the vein this was written in.
I can't really say "Enjoy" in these circumstances, but I can say
I understood this poem far too well :)

Thank you. I enjoyed the purging when writing it. And I learned to be a fighter. That's all you can ask for sometimes.
