Dead Again
Dead Again is the title of a 1991 movie that I loved. Popped in my head today and thought it might a good prompt. I hope you think so, too. Poetry or prose.
Dead Again
I never could have thought
that my whole reason for holding on,
would be what finally ends up killing me
in the end.
Dead again.
A spontaneous pain
to shatter every sense that survived in me.
Incinerating any foolish hope, I still secretly carried.
What a mellow irony to the passing of my
existence here.
And on my last written page,
I let what remains of my heart
find a resting place
between the faded lines of this
crumpled paper.
I close my journal one final time.
