Let the binding fall to the ground those things that once were you let them drop as late leaves see how easy they go no resistance no return that is how it is that is how letting go can be When all you were has passed you will laugh wearing your new skin proud… with sunbeams in your eye miraculously… today you entirely cast off your old self

you are here again you drift in and out my tiresome wilting nightmare you are the endless haunt of my darkest nights the sleeping hours soaked with raw unease what was the point in lusting and loving piercing the depth of our souls why bind ourselves in a luscious nest if it was waiting to fall i lie on our barren bed fragments of who i was splayed on the floor waiting for a good day the strength to gather them all and rebuild myself please remove your essence don't play me with your jangling ghost break the chains cast my desire to black let my eyes never fall on you again leave me in this abandoned home to live my days in cold blood close the unwritten chapters let this haunting end
