knife,
sharp and piercing
twisting into my body
and you smile,
tears fall
I moan softly
I alone
and you laugh,
I beg of you
and plead
you cannot hear
pain,
hurting so deep
I try
and you accuse me,
I whisper to you
and you scream,
I fall
and you step on me,
I love
and you hate.

This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,

Such a heartbreaking

I hope it is only fiction...
