why can't i die?

i am not human
so what am i
i feel so dead
so maybe i am human
just not alive
a non-cannibalistic zombie
awaiting release
my gait is a death march
all words merely translate
to a howl for nourishment
an insaitable hunger i cannot identify
and what is there to fear
when Death is a lover of the past
so many guises lay in the past
cluttering my path
obscuring
morphing so often
searching for an image to satisfy
finding only disappointment
for i've never seen myself in a coffin
i belong Dead
it explains so much
why each time i should have died
i escaped
how long have i lingered lifeless
here
where i don't belong
do others know?
how long will this damnation last?
how many lovers will i see burnt or buried?
why?
i pierce with the bullet
i slice madly with the razor
i devour pills
like a demon in a putrid pool of souls
and still i remain
drowning
leaving no trace
no photograph
no written word
no nostalgic memorabilia
to revive the memory
of an undying thing
i'll walk into your ocean
and inhale the liquid woe
swallowed by your inner turmoil
sinking to the floor of your mind
to chat with every ghost
it was you all along
you are the reason Death denied me
our predetermined kinship
insisted upon my existence
Dead or Alive
with this knowledge
i commit my final suicide
looking into your burning eyes
i whisper, "i don't love you anymore"
in my head, i hear worlds collapse
and the soft tear of my heart breaking
you turn your back to me
and i smile as i feel Death's hand
slipping 'round mine
taking me away
i'm sorry

| your style is so easy to read and yet contains some dark and disturbing thoughts. in answer to the title, perhaps because there is too much fire in you to be extinguished yet. i hope you keep writing. Kate x |

The way you are able to express such feelings into words..is astonishing to me..You can write things I would've never been able to share from my mind, though I'm working on that..lol Great write, as well as all your others
