You became the very thing
That drove your mother to madness
my blood turns cold
at the realization
my heart yearns
for yours
I lit his birthday candle
with the same lighter I use
to burn my thighs
and it seems
as the leaves begin to hit the ground
my hopes and tears accompany them
for this is the fall of me
watch the last of my life fade out with
the crisp cool autumn colors
no need for more breaths
no need to keep score
what’s done is done
I don’t want to hurt anymore
let my sorrow take
control of me
and my body
to slip away
peacefully
let the meadows
turn my blues green
and the wind
unknot the ties
of my stomachache  
have the rain cleanse
my impurities
the dirt cover me
like a mountain of sins
lay me to rest
i am empty within
no this feeling in my chest
rips me apart blood pools
in all crevices of my body
I scream until my voice is hoarse
cry until ***** joins my sobs
ache from sleeping on the floor
being unable to climb into bed
this is ruination
the only thing that was truly
ever between us.
