expiration

commited suicide
because they wanted to live
unable to shake the paranoia
of endless pins and needles
suffocation and pain
dull and sharp
dreamless
sightless
soundless
numb
driven by a ravenous
purposelessness
ripping at their bodies
rotting alive
screaming "I love you"
and
"I don't wanna die"
as they made love
and died
filling up their lives
like mass graves
for all they could never be
the universe, infinite and growing
they, statistically nonexistent
clamoring for breath
in the sucking void
"I love you!"
"I want to live again!"
gone forever
as if they had never been
and God wept
over his own
head-
stone
