    Last Goodnight

     This infection, this disease
    Eat me from the inside, please
    Freeze my heart, rip out my hair
    Feel my tendons, muscles tear
    Watch my skin; it cracks and peels
    Pain is all I wish to feel
    Blackened heart and blackened eyes
    What they say, 'I hope she dies'
    Smiling as I wilt away
    Whither slowly, day by day
    Eyes are burning from the light
    Eager for that last 'goodnight'

    i'm with blu on this piece, very commanding... sometimes it's tough to paint a picture of how much we just wanna get it over with, but you did a nice job here.... i got your req to add and did that before i read you.... kudos on the work here..

    i like it....its very commanding what i mean is it wants u to finish the poem...from the very start i wanted to finish this poem it is very well written and i love it because its short and sweet and gives me shivers in a way, but its very wickedly writtten....dont stop the music u write in these poems ur melody is capturing...

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
