Death Sonnet Poem by Christina Ramirez

Darkness bleeds through me
No longer can I see light
How inconsistant life can be
Slowly do I lose my sight

My mouth no longer cries out in pain
My insides fold in like a chair
No longer can my skin feel the unsettling rain
I don't know how much longer I can bare

I weep sweetly to myself
My soul is no longer alive
My mind is somewhere else
As I battle to survive

I leisurely crumble to the ground
And tranqually the world
Continues without a sound
