I don't know what to call this, but here it is;

Sometimes I do believe that the sky will fall,
Because my heart is my ending,
Death is like neither heaven nor hell,
It is simply a release,
Of all happiness and pain,
Eat my body away, maggots of the earth,
Carry me away angels of the midnight,
For now I am a corpse,
So cold and so lifeless,
And ghost so hauntingly flightless,

Deep and complex
I read it reversed from the last line to the first line as well, and its meanings are exquisite either way. I love the multi-layering in poems like this!
