when i am gone
plant me in your heart
go for a run when it rains
i will be the strange line on the ceiling
or the smallest dot on the bathroom wall
or the type of cologne you smell on a passerby
i will be the strange tune no one knows why you like
when i am gone
it's no one's fault
it's just default
some die now, some die later.
as ruthless as my words
is the truth
that takes more than it gives
and we are asked to live with
what we have
or specifically, what we don't have
and, truly, instead of thinking
i would just
water my plants
