i'd like to think that death is like love. "to love is to rest," they say. "to die is to sleep," is what i hope for. i've been alive a long time. pain has dulled to an optimistic distillation. but then there are those nights. alone, aching with love i cannot share. alone and abandoned to thoughts of "otherwise" or "elsewhere." alone. alone. alone. and afraid. (i've been dead a long time. the pain never really goes away.)
