Leaving the Dead Alive
I am the worst murderer of all—
I killed my entire family,
but let them
stay alive.
There is only:
Happy Birthday,
Happy Mother’s Day,
Happy Father’s Day,
Merry Christmas,
Happy New Year.
There is no:
I miss you,
I love you,
When will you come?
I dug their graves
and buried them deep in the ground.
They wounded me immensely.
I gift them
with my nonexistence.
