I was murdered,
2 years ago.
But it wasn't real,
The knife was a prop,
The scene was a joke,
And I was laughing along.

I was loved for a little while.
Then I lost the touch.
And the heart to act,
As how I present myself.
A sickening display
of your favorite trope of man.

Careless, smiling.
The edge of lips chained to the corner of eye.
chin tilted at you.
Half a grin,
with the other locked in place.
Numbed.
A pair of pupils with,
So much truth and disdain in them.

I picked it up after,
I was murdered,
2 years ago.
