May Doyle - Metaphors For Murder

i've murdered myself with metaphors
a thousand times
and i'll do it again today
you think i don't hear i don't feel
i don't need
but we're doing this anyway
every word i hear you say
without thought or regard
is another knife sinking in my chest
is another life you've scarred
good morning
good night
good peace
good fight
good darkness
good light
good death
good life

May Doyle
