First poem i have written in about 12 years so any and all feedback is much appreciated.
Slice out my soul for it is dead
Pierced with a rusty hook and hung on display.
Swing it high above my body
Selfishness and greed.
Take the needle and pierce my vein
Inject sour poison into the body.
I can feel it rotting, consuming
Bliss.
It is no longer mine but broken apart
Returning to the cosmos, decomposing.
I want to weep sorrow, regret
But I feel nothing.
Emptiness consumes the ego
No longer bound by identity.
It all melts and bubbles, swirling
Into black, reflective nothingness.
I am but cold, dark and empty
Swirling through thought, unconsciousness.
For but a moment, mere seconds that last eternity
fading from the mortal planes into oblivion.
A single tear, shed.
I’m sorry.
Slice out my soul for it is dead
Pierced with a rusty hook and hung on display.

Bliss.
It is no longer mine but broken apart
Returning to the cosmos, decomposing.
I want to weep sorrow, regret
But I feel nothing.
Emptiness consumes the ego
No longer bound by identity.

Into black, reflective nothingness.
I am but cold, dark and empty
Swirling through thought, unconsciousness.
For but a moment, mere seconds that last eternity
fading from the mortal planes into oblivion.
