Nail Into My Coffin

6/2/10 part of a poetry compilation "on addiction" for a Creative Writing course I took this past year. (Title picture by garotoslipknot http://garotoslipknot.deviantart.com/)

A white flag before the battle,

A surrender before the start.

Heal the wounds before they're bleeding,

before I'm torn apart.

One more nail into my coffin;

Another bullet in my gun.

This ain't worth the life I'm leading,

this pain ain't worth the fun.

Another 

second

ticks

by....

One less moment left to live

So much pain to die inside me

Nothing left to give.

But this here's my epitaph

Here is what it reads.

Here's the sum of all my life.

not even worth the blood i bleed.

So here it is, my final words

Placed here upon my breast

"Faithless she lived, and faithless she dies, and thus the world is blessed."
