look at all the blank space on this paper
should I fill it with my blood or my
tears
or both?
dear mom, I'm so sorry
I couldn't take it anymore and
I'd write to dad too,
but I don't suppose he'll ever see the letter.
maybe my suicide will bring you two together somehow,
if I'm being optimistic I can pretend
something good night come out of it.
I can't decide if this is a poem or a warning that I might be gone soon,
but that's mostly because all my thoughts are running together.
so I will fill the paper with whatever comes to mind and you can pretend you care.
please tell your ghost to stop following me
and whispering in my ears
that i was not good enough
please tell your ghost to stop following me
and calling me sweetheart
and putting his hands all over me
please tell your ghost to stop following me
and watching me while i cry
about how i miss you
please tell your ghost to stop following me
and laying in bed with me
keeping me from closing my eyes
please tell your ghost to stop following me
if i can't have you
then i don't want your
ghost

— The End —
