Your signature was so crisp And so elegant. But now it is smeared With the thoughts that once made up My ****** up mind that was once so alive and utterly depressed. I asked you to sign that 147 grain piece of shrapnel To keep in my 9mm handgun In case anyone ever tried to hurt me. I just wanted to make sure That I would have you with me. But now you’re gone And so am I And the crimson streaks Left on the walls and ceiling Of the bedroom where we once shared so much intimacy Scream that all is not as right in the world as we teach our children to hope for. So I bid you farewell, And I hope that the cops come to you, Bring you the bullet that flew through my skull, And say, “This belongs to you.”

This Belongs to You
Your signature was so crisp And so elegant. But now it is smeared With the thoughts that once made up My ****** up mind that was once so alive and utterly depressed. I asked you to sign that 147 grain piece of shrapnel To keep in my 9mm handgun In case anyone ever tried to hurt me. I just wanted to make sure That I would have you with me. But now you’re gone And so am I And the crimson streaks Left on the walls and ceiling Of the bedroom where we once shared so much intimacy Scream that all is not as right in the world as we teach our children to hope for. So I bid you farewell, And I hope that the cops come to you, Bring you the bullet that flew through my skull, And say, “This belongs to you.”
