"Till death do us part,"
Red lips behind a cereal spoon
Blue eyes and pupils like dimes
The moon is her spotlight
Glinting off of pale hair
"Till death do us part,"
Layers upon layers of clothing
You always felt too skinny
You painted a skeleton
And called it 'self portrait'
"Till death do us part,"
She was starved for sunlight on the hottest days
You let her stretch in the rays
As you wilted comfortably in the shade
And Frances skipped from dark to light, keeping the equilibrium that you couldn't give her
"Till death do us part,"
The greenhouse above the garage
Where you swallowed your final breaths
A lethal dose of heroin coursing through your veins
And a bullet in your skull
Did she laugh as you fell apart?
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
