So now, I lie here with some guy looking over me
Ready to cut me with his scalpel
to check what caused my death
I forget the name of the job.
I am dead.
You did that when you beat me.
When you tore me down in strips.
Each day a comment that took away
the confidence, I once had.
So now I lie here with this guy standing over me
Electric saw in hand
He opens up my skull
Removes my pink, fleshy brain.
This is where he finds the scars.
A pale line for every lie you told
a scabby wound for each secret you held
a withered section for area of my life
you made a living hell.
So now I lay here some guy covering me with a sheet
taking his clipboard he makes his notes.
Death by under appreciative boyfriend.
I hope I come back to haunt you
so when your autopsy comes it reads
Death by aggrieved and laughing ghost.
Please tell me what you think
Sorry, you cannot respond to an archived poemReviews

go, girl! haha
nice one!
i think this poem flowed quite smoothly with subtle shifts from scientific/medical to emotional and back. Pretty clever write.
The ending gave me a good laugh. At first I thought this must be a little morbid, but it didn't end that way, and I think it's a good twist.
write on!
