No Longer Human Poem by Kim Schilling

No Longer Human



I tried to be free,
but under lock and key
you capture me in my dreams.
With a hoary skeletal finger
running down my fair cheek,
your unnatural laughter resonates;
my beating heart in your hand,
and blood splattering my face.
The warm salty liquid chokes.
Your cold lips against mine,
I feel my life slipping away,
convulsing and twisting
while your hollow eyes look on.
Your breath is hot and putrid,
bringing tears to my eyes,
but I am leaving now;
no longer human of mortal flesh.
Blood soaks the sheets;
my chest, sunken from death,
rises no more, as I take your hand.
