and it was gone just like that
like a weight off my shoulders,
like escape from certain death,
like running away without a
worry
it was gone just like that
with a handshake,
a smile,
and five steps
out the
door
I was a new man
fresh,
reborn,
free
unknowing of what
had happened in the
mean time
it is impossible to come
back from death without
collateral
what hallow husk
am I trying to bring back
now?
