copper wasp
A surprise how I remained faithful,
After the nights I portrayed myself as hateful.
I know you love me,
But lovely, I need to showcase that, too...
Self-love and self-worth in disarray;
I display suicide but, "No one can save you."
An aching body from a shaken heart.
Breaking myself down or taking a part?
Racing the clock would cause a heart attack,
But at least, by then, I would get some rest.
A pause in breath - hope the stress is gone.
My faulty steps; close as sweat flows on.
I hold a strap - rope my mess in one-
Loop; choking as holds would get too strong.
Stools to float in death - most are better off.
I apologise for saying sorry,
Burdens cornered me and forced me.
Blood coursing to major pouring,
Papers swollen from abusive penmanship.
