# Mercy Killing Poem by Sonya Florentino

# Mercy Killing

Rating: 5.0


My heart still beats
But no one hears
Soon it will be still

My blood still flows
But it is cold
I know the end is near

What am I living for, breathing for
I don’t need the answer anymore

They say 'Mercy heals'
I pray 'Mercy kills'

Indeed a dark style of poem here Sonya, but well written. I wont make assumptions as sometimes i dont write from myself but from seeing through the eyes or feelings of others. Thank you for sharing your talent with us :)
