Murder or Suicide?





















You may be surprised to know
that when you sleep
I press my head to your chest
To be assured you have a heart
 
How can you say you love me,                                
but hurt me to my core?
True, your blows are invisible
My spirit is what’s black and blue
 
I blame myself
I consented to this crime called murder 
And I’ve given you permission                                      
To prolong my death
 
The time has come
To save myself
And walk away
From my own suicide
