I have killed myself a thousand times; I have shot myself, stabbed myself, hung myself, drowned myself, and lost myself     in the isolated wilderness. I have even killed myself by staring at the stars. I have been dead since the day you left me. I only kill myself again and again in my head to cope with this feeling of death around my heart. But I hope in time it will pass. |

The third stanza was originally "the reality is that/I am already dead/I died the day/you left me."
The last two lines were added after the initial writing.
