Life's Side
May 7, 1991

in a puddle floating
lie the faces your life remembers
glistening behind the sheen of blood

they should not have left you
with the razor
hid behind your frightened back

false laugh upon your face you walked
to the mirror
if only for a moment
to see a familiar face
and then you turned
away from both the mirror and life
which flowed away like water
to leave only the shell

some will say
that should only the shell have existed
life - as it was to you - remains an empty husk

when not a tear is left
close not your eyes in torpor
but escape - I go on to a better place
than this cold world - was not this

when a world grows cold
you could well have tried fire
and when the torpor set in like ice
you could have found another way
besides to hide your breath
