your bell jar
with a loose close
have you ever seen
the lights in your eyes

the blood is caked
under the stars
nothing to lose, nothing to show
you'll never know what i mean
when i say goodbye

a one eyed poet
chain smoking his cancer away
he felt only death, but wouldn't show it
until the pen carried him away

the only cure
to this disintegrating mind
is no longer death
only the future
and so it goes, time left behind
deep breaths.

rope burns along your neck
where it was too thin for the noose
no one came to check
on your diamond red and blues

reap your crop
and show your fate
under the eyes of destruction
will your fear satiate

know when to stop
before it's too late
no single minded confession
can rewind this hate.
