tonight i'm dead again

the ghost rustles through my bones

taking out every broken piece

take out the tape and glue,

pay heed to try fixing me

 

the ghost mutters a word

and my skull cracks in two

"why do you hurt?"

my fingers simultaneously break

ghost weeps

and my bones hurt to ash

 

ghost words echo and vibrate

"i love you", i say

ghost speaks

and i plan my next funeral

 

ghost suggests silence

but silence burns

and while this burn

won't **** me

ghost will and

i welcome death
