*The Final Chapter* (8), by *****Junior Walker*****
|
You can read her life from her tender wrists
The jagged burgundy marks
Tell a never-ending story,
And if you look closer
You can see a calendar
Of past days she set aside to end the story
You can see scores and results from matches
The doctors always tend to win
The blood,
The perfect biography
The bloodline of her family
All the people she wishes she'd miss,
She sinks her long nails down
Deep down into last Tuesday
The day her boyfriend dumped her
Substituting heartache for pain
Maybe today for even more
She drags the sharp blade across her pale skin
Sshhh, if your quiet you can hear it
…No you weren't quiet enough
But I know you heard the thump
As her body plummets to the floor
Gravity the only thing she can depend on
You can read from her lifeless body
The story has ended
The blood forms a red full stop
Don't call an ambulance,
Today bring a Hurst.
