(From Lips of Lying Dying Wonder Body #2)

what is it that you do when you want to die?

you spoke to me, a faint whisper in my mind.

a deafening murmur calling for conclusion.

"well beyond your expiration date", I know.

so heavy a burden, your words.

and you're right. how did I think it would be

any different? you were and always will be... right.

truth is, you're the last man standing in your way.

trust in your desire, deliverance within your reach

thus, I hope you find the courage

you spoke to me. you said,

"you knew all along..."

death is the road to awe

(From Lips of Lying Dying Wonder Body #3)

when I arrived there were only a few there.
faces I did not recognize
faces with a somber expression
and when they saw me they all moved away.

no one said a word. the only sound of whispers
accompanied by a rainy autumn morning.

I walked further down when I saw the open casket.
each step heavier than the one before. my body
ached, weakness overwhelmed me. hands and
knees heavy on the floor, I crawled... determined
to look at whose body laid in front of me.

I tried to ask for help yet no one seemed to notice.
no one seemed to care. I reached for the handles,
arms outstretched and pulled myself up.

when I finally peered inside the coffin, I saw that
the person laying there was me. cold and done for.

I began to cry shortly after that. then I woke up.
