How to tell if you are dead

How to tell if you are dead

Beside yourself
A torso is doubled
Halved into the troubled
Your breath is mildly cold

Spears of ice now peirce the air
As they all see you're no longer there
Or here, or what you call nowhere
No thoughts to share, or dimes to spare

You can't deny
A sight so glum
Won't darken the hearts of innocence

One could not buy
A colder shoulder
And you cope with acceptance

What's gone is still
within the echoes
Admit that you're now past tense

Your time is gone
The breath of a shadow
No longer follows you

You wait till dawn
When the mist is shallow
And solace slowly swallows you
