Here is a monologue I am thinking of doing for a deaf peotry type thing.

Let me know what you think.

Have you ever thought of death?



No, really thought of death.

I guess I should ask, if you have ever SEEN death?

Have you seen what it looks like when you look into a lifeless body? The lack of warmth. The lack of breath. Zero reaction to your touch.

Have you ever fucking felt that? The coldness. The stiffness of a lifeless body that you yourself have seen so much life from. Have you EVER fucking seen that?



Have you ever thought of death?

Have you ever seen a body so still? A body that was in so much pain, finally, Finally be free of that pain. The look of relief in there lips. No longer clenched in pain. The eye brows no longer grimising from the pain. Relieved. Dead



Have you ever thought about death?



Have you ever seen a body die? Watching, knowing you can do nothing. Watching them gasp for every one of there last breaths. There body contracts from the pain as there heart is searching for every beat it can get. Gasp. Eyes look at you with ever last breath. You can do nothing.

Others look toward you for something. Help, a look that says things are gonna be alright, But you have nothing.



Have you ever seen death?



Have you watched as the body convulses and gasps for every bit of life it has left. As they look you in the eye when you see a slow breath..... followed by an even shallower breath............ followed by a few short gasping breaths.



Have you ever been there to see them look right into your eyes

as they take that last, shallow, breath and watch as their eyes glass over, with the last tear in there body.



Have you ever seen someone try to die?



Have you ever known someone that tried to kill themselves? Have you ever tried to kill yourself? Have you ever seen someone so distraught try and take there life? You watch as there body goes in and out of conciousness as they loose blood. Pint,by Pint, By Pint. As they say stuff that means nothing to you or anyone around you, just them. Or have you ever looked at a friend as they say "You know I love you. Right bro?" As they climb the rail to jump onto the rocks with a splash of water staring right into your eyes as they leap.



Have you ever thought of death?



No really thought of death.



Cause I have.
