Exquisite Pain

Location

White as snow,
Cold as ice,
His body lays.

On the ground,
In the night,
Nobody knows.

Of the boy,
Who alone,
Cried out in pain.

Lonliness,
And anger,
Overtook him.

Driving him,
To end it.
To end it all.

The tears slid,
Down his cheeks,
Swollen and red.

The beatings,
And abuse,
Too much to bear.

He reached,
For the Knife,
And ran far away.

In darkness,
He fled.
To meet his death.

The pressure,
Of the blade,
Against his skin.

The ribbon,
Of scarlet,
Exquisite pain.

He feels it.
The end,
It's finally here.

He draws in,
His last breath,
Forever asleep.

White as snow,
Cold as ice,
His body lays.

On the ground,
In the night,
Nobody knows.
