Literature Text

Each vein courses crimson,
My eyes flush blue.
My flesh still in tact,
But I can't lay a finger on you.

I am alive, my chest tells me so.
Each time I think I may not know.
But I feel as a corpse, battered and cold,
How can I be sure, that I am what I've been told?

I can't let you see me, with a spirit so grey.
Nobody can hear a single thing I say.
I am alive, smiling lips flush red,
But when I look in a mirror, I'm sick of being dead.

No one should love me, with a heart like this.
How can you touch me, with a skin so thick?
I am alone, to be who no one needs.
You shouldn't accept the thing that you see.
I would've called this a poetry exercise, as it was written in only a couple of minutes, but I've had the words running through my head for quite some time now anyways.

So dark and sad of course, but so powerful too.  In other words, I hate it, but love the beauty of it.  Well done.
