Literature Text

I never imagined that I would be here
Stabbed by the merciless nib of a fountain pen
Which is dancing upon my stained skin;
White and blue mingling through the sorrow of a man.

I will soon be drowning in thick ink
But for the moment my tormentor's eyes
Are only staring at me, undressing me, and I think
He is scared of what he is about to write

I am only a sheet of paper and I was once a leaf
I enjoyed the whispers of the Wind and I asked
For nothing but to wait until I would fall down the cliff
Of life; I did not see the treacherous blade: I was trapped.

Trapped I had been, agony creeping and overwhelming me
While not a single drop of sap came to feed my torn veins
And here I am, me, the keepsake of some forgotten tree
Waiting to feel the unbearable weight of human pain.

Letters are being formed. They make love and whirl
While I dream that I could possibly have been
A child's plane and fly and glide and twirl
Instead of bearing the burden of a man's decision to his queen.

For no words have ever been heavier than 'I love you'
When they are being written for the very last time
When nothing but the void of death seems to be true
For there is no culprit, no murderer, no crime.

Now that the words have been written all over me
I wait, trying to avoid the spreading bloodstain
That is flowing from this motionless body
For I want to guard these very last words, this very last claim.

I love you.

She will read but will not hear
And I, already drowned in ink and blood
Will be engulfed by bitter tears.
Revised version of this text.

I fixed a couple of mistakes here and there.

Is it true that almost nobody writes with fountain pens anymore?

I'm asking because I love writing with my foutain pen(s) but I seem to be an exception. :hmm:
