Cadaver By R. Cary

Cadaver

By R. Cary

She keeps cutting me. Why does she keep doing this?

Open your eyes Julia, let her know you are still here.

I wasn’t always like this. Before I died I loved, I lived,

I gave purpose to my world. I smiled, I joked, I cared,

Now my eyes will not open, my heart no longer beats.

Before my will drove my heart, now my heart is being

Sliced. I can feel every incision. I kick, I scream, but my

Will is deceased. I just lay here. Once alive, once called

Julia. Now a living corpse, a cadaver for a purpose that is

Not my own. Why does she keep doing this? If I could just

Open my eyes she will see. I am still here, still in this body

Once called Julia, once called daughter, once called yours.

End
