What is death?
What is it?

Is it so bad, so terrible?

It comes to every living thing, inescapably.
To all of those who view the sun
And gaze upon the moon
Death will come.

Death,
Total, complete, certain,
Will come.

We give birth
And we receive death.
Death is not life
And life is not death
And yet they are indivisible.

Death draws closer
With every passing second
But the sunlight burns always
…always

Light
Darkness
Death.

people don't believe when i say i have a superpower,
one that i quite love when i need it but sometimes i hate it when i wish to be noticed,
no one notices me unless i speak to them,
my quiet voice,
a 'sorry' 'excuse me' 'thank you' became a reflex,
like dodging a ball that i so very fear,
i can be invisible rather i wish or not,
its quite a lot,
to explain,
maybe it is a bit lame,
but i'm invisible rather i want to be or not

Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
When the last fires will wave to me
And the silence will set out
Tireless traveler
Like the beam of a lightless star

Then I will no longer
Find myself in life as in a strange garment
Surprised at the earth
And the love of one woman
And the shamelessness of men
As today writing after three days of rain
Hearing the wren sing. and the falling cease
And bowing not knowing to what

she can’t breathe         she can’t          breathe
                 her lungs have collapsed and
i’m left wondering
                          why it can’t be me         instead
i’m submerged in a pit of mud and      
                       i know i can never fully become clean again
god          she doesn’t          deserve this
           a soul is as fragile as a dove and
                               i’m not ready for her to take flight        
      please        not yet
she’s left there         exposed scalp      weightless
                                    as though gravity has abandoned her
            her body decays slowly     steadily    
from the cancer in her blood
                      and i can feel the blood trickle through my veins          
             to my toes          i can’t feel anything and
                   i think i’m selfish for realizing this
her life span sliced in half by a jagged blade
                              i feel as if the tip of it skimmed my heart
        i’m plagued with a sorrow so intense      
i could crumble     every     mountain
                                  with a single clenched fist
i can’t breathe         i can’t         breathe

dark
miserable
forgettable
unimaginable
it's obviously
the best that you got out of me
because that's all i can see

but i won't forget it
because you were a part of it
every single bit
imaginable
unforgettable
miserable
and dark

thank you for your time
your patience and your crime
thanks for what you said
we'll never be dead

i'll keep you alive in the palm of my hand
so you can explain it to me when i don't understand

How do you forgive someone
For taking three years of
Trust, and
Throwing it back in your
Face

Regret

How can you stay mad
At someone who once was your
Whole world, it was just one
Mistake

Right?

Sickening thunder in an emptiness
That you cannot quite place.
Shuddering in the parking lot smoking a cigarette almost unable to support yourself,
Your father looks at you with melancholy eyes
Tear stained yet he never cries.
Stricken.
This is not an ocean or waves this is a sinkhole
A sudden tearing of the earth so forceful it knocks it off kilter.
The world feels off
Something is missing from us.
Letters from his family that will no longer have his name on them and people are never gone
Only lost.
Like you and me.
Grief.
A sudden loneliness that never existed before
A different strain of loneliness for every person that ceases to exist in this reality.
"I miss you" sounds horrific because this type of missing requires never coming back.
Please, come back.
