I have
welcomed death
with open,
pleading arms
for a long time
I would romanticize
the end
of my life
beg to the void
to take me
to destroy me
I thought that
the only true promise
of contentment
I could ever grasp
was found
six feet deep
then I held you
and somehow,
I was
met with a love
stronger than
my desire for death

of contentment
I could ever grasp
was found
six feet deep
then I held you
and somehow,
I was
met with a love
stronger than
my desire for death
