"The first draft of anything is crap."


Tthose words Shook the earth
Rattled the chandelier
Jostled the mountains
and yet
you just sat There
calm, composed
while they spelled out your Death sentence
you shouldN't be dying
yoU should Not be Dead

inside Already
your heart Ripped
a p a r t
your blood
shredded
lightning strikes
twice twice
in every wound
to ensure Maximum

Damage
has PILED up inside you
clogging you UP
like sewage pipes
Well past its last cleaning
or a lemonade straw
choked
with ice
the shredded pieces
rotting
dying
she needs

to leave,
for her that's all the option she has
one
choice
and yet I can't believe
for her it's
time to die
time to live
time to forget
time to forgive
to let go
to hate
to hurt
to lie
to die
scream your last words of

love
is such a beautiful thing
in poems
fairy tales
wind-swept songs
so easy and free
but this love
is tearing me

apart
came the waves of the Red Sea
to lead Them to salvation.
Follow Them
follow the light you see to happiness
rest
dream
listen
die
because whatever's killing you
it's killing

me
don't even think about me
I'll already be dead when you go
my spirit is black
with pain
take my hand
I'll lead you to salvation
time to die
Darling,
take my hand
it's time for you to die
time to die
