Her eyes looking,
searching,
for something thats real,
Life
Dry grass cutting her bare feet,
brown to red,
dust to dust,
Grief
Dreams of a lost soul,
Shattered
Body falling,
Rapidly,
vanishing into makebelieve.
Lying in a bath,
Still
Blood mixing with water,
Flowing,
Dying
Screaming inside.
Breathing, slower
Dreams,
coming true
Reality,
cutting deeper,
Cleaner
Dirty thoughts of fury,
The only way
Escape,
wanting to be free
Tears,
salty, sliding down one red cheek,
Eyes,
slowly closing,
pulling her down,
Drowning,
Taste,
her blood, choking her,
Heart,
stop,
A world of pain
Left behind
The path of freedom

I love the technique used in this write...the way you have used the ponctuation is brilliant! I think what stands out the most to me in this write, is the way you wrote it, which in turn gave me the ability to feel it....it made me see the imagery, and this is something i consider a little hard to do...to give the reader such clear imagery! Excellent!!!
