    Impale

    Here I am, a fading creature
    Lying here among the leaves
    Shadows grow and lights shatter
    Darkness takes me in its arms

    A foolish being I once was
    Always fearful of the heart
    Till the day the blade was brought
    And closed my lips forever

    Yet there was no blood
    My body unmarked
    No blade was there
    But the pain continued to last

    Here I am, a fading creature
    Lying here among the leaves
    My eyes still open, my heart still beats
    But my lips will never speak the secret in me

    kinda scarey but one gets the point indeed! good job!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
